Professor builds organ-on-chip technology for personalized medicine

November 12, 2020

Riccardo Barrile, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Cincinnati College of Engineering and Applied Science, is combining three powerful technologies — stem cells, 3D bioprinting and organs-on-chips — to create living human tissues and organs for use in drug screening, disease modeling and regenerative medicine. This research may someday lead to personalized medicine breakthroughs, fast-track development of new drug treatments, and eliminate the need for animal testing.

Biomedical engineering researcher aims to improve cancer treatment

December 2, 2021

Ahmet Kaynak is developing a method for cancer treatment that uses electricity to target cancer cells. Kaynak, a University of Cincinnati biomedical engineering doctoral candidate, seeks to use his research to create therapies with fewer side effects than current treatments. Kaynak’s work toward improving treatments for cancer patients took on new meaning after his young daughter became a cancer survivor. Kaynak was named Graduate Student Engineer of the Month by the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
