3D Printing Industry discusses the research of Christopher Lewis, associate professor in the Department of Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology; graduate student Vincent Mei; and biomedical and chemical engineering Ph.D. student Kory Schimmelpfenning, which focuses on self-healing photopolymers for 3D printing that should enhance part longevity and sustainability.

Using a non-traditional, micro-organism separation method, researchers at RIT discovered a faster technique that can be used to distinguish cells that are resistant to antibiotics or cancer.

The process combines virology and mechanobiology, two distinct areas of study that had not been explored at the same time but might prove to be a way to better understand disease progressions to intervene earlier and improve patient outcomes.

An essay by Blanca Lapizco-Encinas, professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, published by The Conversation.

RIT researcher Blanca Lapizco-Encinas found new ways to identify those mutations faster. Resurrecting an older theoretical technique that can be used for analyzing pathogens that cause disease, her work could improve how clinicians develop more effective treatments.

For the fall 2024 academic year, Gaborski has been appointed department head and will oversee a program that has expanded since it began to include more than 300 students in undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs.

The award is given to an individual who began their studies as a first-year student at RIT and is entering their final year of undergraduate study with the highest grade point average across the university.

Researchers at RIT are developing non-invasive technology that will better assess cardiac tissue response to thermal energy, a common therapy approach for both cancer and cardiac arrhythmia treatments.

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

Throughout the course of the academic year, hundreds of RIT students prepare to compete for some of the most prestigious international fellowships and scholarships available. Intensive research projects, applications, essays, and interviews all play a critical role in their selection.

Making at RIT has hit a new level now that several makerspaces in the Student Hall for Exploration and Development (SHED) have opened to provide students access to equipment and support for classwork, club advancement, and personal projects.

Becoming an AIMBE Fellow is one of the organization's most prestigious honors, representing the most accomplished individuals across academia, industry, education, clinical practice, and government.
