ASAIO Meeting

Nayeem’s paper, titled "Empirical and Computational Evaluation of Hemolysis in a Microfluidic Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator (ECMO) Prototype," is now available online  in the MDPI journal “Micromachines”. This paper delves into the hemolytic potential of microfluidic blood-contacting medical devices using a combination of empirical and computational methods. This work opens up exciting possibilities for the development of safer and more efficient blood contacting microfluidic devices. DOI: 10.3390/mi15060790

Researchers at RIT are developing technology that will be able to determine the lifespan of a heart valve with more precision.

Jonathan’s first first-author manuscript sailed through the review process and was recently published in MDPI Actuators and presented at the 70th annual ASAIO meeting in Baltimore.  Reviewers thought it was esoteric, but solid.  Congratulations!  Additionally, MPDI Actuators highlighted the article on the front page of the journal's website (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/actuators) because it has been "downloaded many times". “Practical Comparison of Two- and Three-Phase Bearingless Permanent Magnet Slice Motors for Blood Pumps” DOI: 10.3390/act13050179.

RIT is spearheading a transformative $7.3 million research hub in collaboration with the University of Rochester. The center will study the lifecycle of microplastics, including its origin as plastic waste, distribution, and movement in the Great Lakes freshwater ecosystem.
