Congratulations to UVA BME Professor and co-founder of Springbok Analytics Silvia Blemker! This is a tremendous accomplishment!

Tempo Therapeutics, a company founded by UVA associate professor of biomedical and chemical engineering Don Griffin, recently dosed the first patients in their MOSAIC clinical trial. The trial investigates TT101, a solution designed to regrow large volumes of tissue while preventing disfiguring scars for skin cancer patients. The company believes TT101 has the potential to revolutionize treatment outcomes for surgical oncology patients.

Associate professor of electrical and computer engineering Homa Alemzadeh will work with colleagues from two universities on a $900,000 grant to take the risk out of self-driving vehicles. Many disengagements, or when an autonomous system is turned off for safety reasons, happen when the AI makes wrong decisions, or doesn’t make them in time. Alemzadeh’s project will help identify when and where these systems fail, then design ways to mitigate potential hazards. https://lnkd.in/eC3iCxj2

Senior scientific director at Bristol Myers Squibb, Dr. Tabora, recently delivered the Edward L. Paul Lecture for UVA’s Department of Chemical Engineering.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to showcase some of UVA Engineering's highlights to a group of researchers from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul who are exploring innovative teaching methods to enhance engineering education in Brazil. This experience prompted me to reflect on how fortunate I am to study here, reminding me of the many positive aspects of UVA Engineering that are often easy to overlook or take for granted. A big thank you to Julia Lapan for connecting me with this incredible group. I am always proud to represent UVA Engineering whenever the opportunity arises. Camila Kolling and Nicole Cecchele Lago I wish you great success with your work! Please feel free to reach out—I'm always happy to continue to contribute to improving education in Brazil. It was a pleasure meeting you all and sharing this wonderful experience. ———————————————- Ontem, tive a oportunidade de apresentar um pouco sobre a UVA Engineering para um grupo de pesquisadoras da UFRGS que buscam aprender sobre diferentes métodos de ensino para melhorar a educação no Brasil. Essa visita me proporcionou um momento de reflexão sobre o privilégio que é estudar aqui, e me fez repensar em tantos aspectos positivos do meu curso que muitas vezes passam despercebidos. Muito obrigada, Julia Lapan, por ter me conectado com esse grupo. Tenho muito orgulho em representar a UVA Engineering sempre que possível. Istefani, Letícia, Nicole e Camila, desejo muito sucesso nas suas pesquisas! Contem comigo para colaborar ainda mais na transformação da educação no Brasil. Foi um prazer conhecê-las e compartilhar essa experiência.
