Winter 07: Research: New Voices at BME

Rensselaer’s junior biotech faculty tackle everything from back pain to biophotonics

New treatments for back pain and soft tissue. New ideas about Schwann cells and nerve repair. Engineered tissues for blood vessels. Breakthroughs in imaging. All of these research avenues are currently drawing attention to Rensselaer’s Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), where five of the department’s newest faculty are exploring a wealth of promising directions.
