For Women’s History Month, Women in STEM Share Their Journeys

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Current News, Neuroscience | Comments are Closed | 25 March, 2021 | 0

The path for women in STEM fields has historically been fraught with obstacles that their male counterparts may not have had to face. The path is a bit clearer today thanks to the women who walked it before: Women like Rachel Carson, the marine biologist and environmentalist; Katherine Johnson, the space scientist who made the Apollo 11 flight possible; and Edith Clarke, the first professionally employed female electrical engineer in the U.S. Read More

Advancements in Vision Care Lead the Way in Hillman Foundation $25 Million Gift

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Current News, Vision | Comments are Closed | 17 March, 2021 | 0

The Henry L. Hillman Foundation recently announced a $25 million gift to the University of Pittsburgh.  In all, $20 million of the gift will fund vision care research and development through The Eye & Ear Foundation, which supports Pitt’s Departments of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology by advancing leading-edge academics and research to enhance patient care. As a result of the gift, The Eye & Ear Foundation has passed the halfway point in its campaign to support vision restoration breakthroughs, advance technologies and therapies addressing vision loss, lower barriers to healthcare for all Pittsburghers, and fuel the growth of the city’s burgeoning biotech sector.  The gift will, among other efforts, improve access to vision care for underserved communities through outreach and direct care; help build and staff a vision “street lab” to test new treatments and therapies in safe, controlled, virtual and real-life environments; and support research into breakthrough programs such as biomedical solutions to corneal blindness. The gift will also fund commercialization efforts and will, in turn, create job and training opportunities for adjacent neighborhoods and the city with an emphasis on promoting equitable access to services and employment.

Furthermore, Freddie Fu, MD, Chair of Orthopaedic Surgery at Pitt and an affiliated faculty member of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, was the number one author. Read More

Hypertensive Pregnancy Linked with Risks of Heart Disease

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Cellular Therapy, Current News | Comments are Closed | 10 March, 2021 | 0

Compared with women whose blood pressure during pregnancy was normal, women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, have major differences in the structure and function of the heart a decade after childbirth, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine affiliated faculty member Flordeliza Villanueva, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology and Vice Chair for Pre-Clinical Research of the Department of Medicine, and Director of Non-Invasive Cardiac Imaging at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute, is a co-author on the publication.

Shifting Gears Toward Chemical Machines

By The McGowan Institute For Regenerative Medicine | Computations and Modeling, Current News | Comments are Closed | 10 March, 2021 | 0

The gear is one of the oldest mechanical tools in human history and led to machines ranging from early irrigation systems and clocks, to modern engines and robotics. For the first time, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering have utilized a catalytic reaction that causes a two-dimensional, chemically coated sheet to spontaneously “morph” into a three-dimensional gear that performs sustained work.
