McKelvey Engineering Year in Review 2018-19

McKelvey Engineering Year in Review | 2018-19

On Jan. 31, 2019, the school entered a new era as the McKelvey School of Engineering thanks to a transformative, unprecedented investment by alumnus James McKelvey Jr. and his wife, Anna.

The gift will be used to fund endowed scholarships and professorships, as well as the dean’s highest priorities for advancing the school and its impact on lives and communities in St. Louis and around the world. The gift will also advance educational and research programs that integrate computing and engineering with other disciplines, and it will support the school’s effort to enhance the region’s innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

buzzworthy news

Bigger proteins, stronger threads: Synthetic spider silk $1.6 million to study combining intranasal drug delivery, focused ultrasound The NIH grant will fund a broader understanding of earlier work combining intranasal drug delivery and focused ultrasound (FUSIN). It will also combine latest research in imaging toward developing imageguided drug delivery.

Giving users a handle on their data A computer scientist is developing a novel user privacy protection framework that will give users full privacy control over their data.

The work is funded by a four-year, collaborative, $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at WashU have engineered bacteria that produce a biosynthetic spider silk with performance on par with its natural counterparts in all of the important measures.

‘Hopeful technology’ could change detection, diagnosis of deadly ovarian cancer Making sense, pictures of medical data McKelvey Engineers are looking at approaches that have been successful in decreasing cognitive load and using those approaches to design easier-tounderstand visualizations.

Engineering treatments for the opioid epidemic

Seeking to improve quantum computation

A biomedical engineer is developing a therapeutic option that would prevent the opiates from crossing the blood-brain barrier, preventing the high abusers seek.

An engineer is leading a team developing a two-photon controlledphase logic gate that could boost quantum information science and technology.

McKelvey School of Engineering

A biomedical engineer conducted a pilot study using co-registered photoacoustic tomography with ultrasound to evaluate ovarian tumors on 16 patients at the School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

An engineer is developing a new material that would deliver drugs directly to the damaged part of the heart to preserve the support network, or extracellular matrix while blocking two enzymes.
