Shaping Quality of Life
UT Arlington faculty and students are developing the next wave of life-enhancing innovations. Research in tissue engineering and drug-delivery systems could reduce the threat of disease, and a study on sports-related concussions could change the way we treat athletic injuries. These and other projects show promise in creating a healthier future for all.
Attacking disease with a laser focus
Tweezers conjure thoughts of removing splinters or plucking eyebrows. But two UT Arlington researchers have found that an optical version of the pincer-like instrument can better deliver medicine for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other ailments.
Gaming gets serious
Inside a computer world that looks like real life, College of Nursing students interact with vulnerable patients and determine how they’re performing—without risking a medical mistake.
A breath of innovation
The heavy, suitcase-sized blood oxygenating machine that keeps people with respiratory problems alive annoys mechanical engineering Associate Professor Brian Dennis. So do oxygen tanks and other cumbersome breathing equipment. He wants something much smaller, more efficient, less intrusive.
Q&A: Understanding concussions
The high incidence of concussions among athletes continues to make headlines, as teams and leagues learn more about long-term effects. Kinesiology Assistant Professor Jacob Resch is studying local high school students to gain a better understanding of this increasingly dangerous problem.
