Welcome ADS & UDS Scholars
Six of the 22 incoming students awarded an MSU Alumni Distinguished Scholarship (ADS) or University Distinguished Scholarship (UDS) for 2018-19 are headed to the College of Engineering.
$1.3 Million NIH grant
Michigan State University engineering researchers are working to create synthetic biological devices inside the cells of mammals that will enable new treatments for chronic and uncured diseases.
$360,000 NSF grant
Experts in biomedical engineering and electrical and computer engineering at Michigan State University are collaborating on the limitations of wide-field tumor imaging in the fight against breast cancer.
Erin Purcell and Joseph Salatino
Medical advances in the use of brain implants are strengthening treatment possibilities for brain injuries and neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, using implants still has a major drawback - scar tissue that forms around the implant severely limits its function.
Xuefei Huang
Michigan State University scientists are engineering a virus-like particle, known as Qβ, that will generate anti-cancer immune responses in the body and potentially be used as a new vaccine for the treatment of cancer.
February 2018 Media Report
Jiayu Zhou, assistant professor of computer science and engineering, will use a $551,600 NSF CAREER Award to research large-scale machine learning on big data. He is the 14th Spartan Engineer to be awarded the prestigious recognition since 2010.
2018 AGE Fellows
They are focused on the food and pharmaceutical supply chain and emerging plasma science. Their expertise is in improving soil health and smart sensing systems. Twelve new fellows in the Michigan State University Academy for Global Engagement (AGE) are already at work to become the next generation of international research experts at Michigan State University.
Real or fake
Do you know how safe it is to use your finger as a security login? And have you wondered how your cell phone knows if your finger is real or a fake? Michigan State University biometric expert Anil Jain and his team are working to answer these questions and solve the biggest problems facing fingerprint recognition systems today: how secure they are and how to determine whether the finger being used is actually a human finger.
