“If engineering is like solving a puzzle, then other people are like the corner pieces that give you a frame of reference” – Alessandra Coogan, NIH intern Engineering is very much a group effort and for Alessandra, that’s part of the appeal. As someone fascinated by both technology and people, Alessandra feels at home in the highly collaborative field of biomedical engineering. She has thrived at George Mason University, where she was a key member of an award-winning design team and held leadership roles in robotics and game development clubs. This summer at NIBIB, Alessandra is continuing to immerse herself in a wide range of subjects such as materials science, drug delivery, and immunology. These topics collide in her research project, which centers on using biomaterials to improve treatments for fungal respiratory infections. As she works alongside and learns from her mentor, lab mates and others across NIH campus, pieces are falling into place for her project and career. Alessandra will apply the skills and perspectives gained this summer in her graduate studies, with the goal of becoming a tissue engineering researcher working both in the lab and the clinic.

Lab-based PCR testing is the gold standard for detecting infectious diseases, but its limited availability means many communities are not able to access high performance diagnostics. An NIBIB-supported study could offer a streamlined alternative that doesn’t sacrifice performance. Researchers at the University of Connecticut developed a portable, handheld device and showed that it could detect both HIV and SARS-CoV-2 with similar accuracy as PCR. With several advantages over the traditional benchtop approach, this new technology could make powerful diagnostics more widespread.

This fall, we’re holding an event to connect external investigators with researchers and resources at NIH. The event, Building Bridges Across NIH and the Broader Engineering Community, will take place on Tuesday, October 22, the day before the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) annual meeting kicks off in Baltimore, Maryland. Attendees can look forward to invited and abstract-driven talks, poster sessions, lab tours, panel discussions, a chance to meet program directors, and networking opportunities. Professors, postdocs, and graduate and undergraduate students are all encouraged to join us.

“We imagine that, if translated to humans, this platform could allow someone to receive anti-inflammatory medication once a month instead of a few times a week, for example,” said Daniel Siegwart. A new technology from Siegwart and colleagues at UT Southwestern Medical Center could greatly extend the lifespan of drugs in the body by turning cells into drug factories.

The FDA has granted U.S. market authorization to Cepheid for the first rapid hepatitis C virus test that can be used in patient care settings and deliver results in about one hour. The new technology – validated through a collaboration between RADx Tech at The National Institutes of Health, FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – could help patients with positive tests begin treatment right away, rather than the current approach, which requires lengthy laboratory processing.

A functional, healthy bladder is something that many of us take for granted. Yet millions of Americans deal with bladder issues, ranging from temporary inconveniences to long-lasting conditions. While many bladder disorders can be managed with non-invasive solutions, some conditions may require surgery to restore bladder function. Thousands of bladder surgeries are performed every year in the U.S., yet significant improvements in bladder augmentation and monitoring have not been seen in many decades. A collaborative NIH-funded team at Northwestern University is working to change that. They are tackling the issues from two different vantage points: improving bladder function by utilizing a cell-seeded, biodegradable construct that both augments the bladder and facilitates tissue regeneration, along with enhancing patient monitoring by developing an implantable bladder sensor. Their research, many years in the making, has reached an important clinical milestone—evaluating their technologies in non-human primate models.
