Bryan Smith one of four MSU researchers to receive American Cancer Society grant for cancer research
Four dedicated researchers from Michigan State University have received grants totaling more than $3 million from the American Cancer Society, or ACS, to find new ways to prevent, detect, treat and help patients survive colorectal, breast and cervical cancer.
Using “collective intelligence” for the greater good
When Two Six Technologies Senior Research Scientist Nathan Brugnone—a Michigan State University dual Ph.D. alumnus in computational mathematics, science and engineering (CMSE) and community sustainability (CSUS), decided to sponsor two capstone projects, he had no idea he was about to launch a collaborative effort with far-reaching effects.
MSU researchers use ‘smart’ bomb therapy to destroy breast cancer
A wife and husband professor team at Michigan State University are collaborating with researchers at the University of California, Riverside to create a new light-activated “smart” bomb to treat aggressive breast cancer.
MSU researchers identify why 911 calls are delayed, failed, or dropped
Guan-Hua “Scott” Tu, an associate professor in the College of Engineering, and his team observed that despite sufficient wireless signal coverage, users may still experience prolonged emergency call setup times, call initiation failures, or call drops.
MSU engineers create “smart” system to prevent future infrastructure disasters
When the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, collapsed on March 26, 2024, engineers and city managers around the U.S. and world scrambled to assess the safety of infrastructure in their communities.
MSU liquid foam innovation designed to protect the brain now tested on internal organs
Researchers at Michigan State University have refined an innovation that has the potential to improve safety, reduce severe injury and increase survival rates in situations ranging from car accidents, sports, law enforcement operations and more. In 2020 and 2022, Weiyi Lu, an associate professor in MSU’s College of Engineering, developed a liquid nanofoam material made up of tiny holes surrounded by water that has been shown to protect the brain against traumatic injuries when used as a liner in football helmets.
