On Jan. 31, 2019, the school entered a new era as the McKelvey School of

Engineering thanks to a transformative, unprecedented investment by alumnus James McKelvey Jr. and his wife, Anna. The gift will be used to fund endowed

scholarships and professorships, as well as the dean’s highest priorities for

advancing the school and its impact on lives and communities in St. Louis

and around the world. The gift will also advance educational and research

programs that integrate computing and engineering with other disciplines,

and it will support the school’s effort to enhance the region’s innovation and

entrepreneurial ecosystem.

$1.6 million to study combining intranasal drug delivery, focused ultrasoundThe NIH grant will fund a broader understanding of earlier work combining intranasal drug delivery and focused ultrasound (FUSIN). It will also combine latest research in imaging toward developing image-guided drug delivery.

Making sense, pictures of medical dataMcKelvey Engineers are looking at approaches that have been successful in decreasing cognitive load and using those approaches to design easier-to-understand visualizations.

‘Hopeful technology’ could change detection, diagnosis of deadly ovarian cancerA biomedical engineer conducted a pilot study using co-registered photoacoustic tomography with ultrasound to evaluate ovarian tumors on 16 patients at the School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

Bigger proteins, stronger threads: Synthetic spider silkResearchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at WashU have engineered bacteria that produce a biosynthetic spider silk with performance on par with its natural counterparts in all of the important measures.

Giving users a handle on their dataA computer scientist is developing a novel user privacy protection framework that will give users full privacy control over their data. The work is funded by a four-year, collaborative, $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

New, nontoxic materials for solar cells underwayEngineers from multiple departments are studying whether a nontoxic element — bismuth, lead’s neighbor on the periodic table — is a safer and equally efficient substitute for lead in perovskites.

Seeking to improve quantum computationAn engineer is leading a team developing a two-photon controlled-phase logic gate that could boost quantum information science and technology.

Engineering treatments for the opioid epidemic A biomedical engineer is developing a therapeutic option that would prevent the opiates from crossing the blood-brain barrier, preventing the high abusers seek.

Drug-filled gel to repair heart after heart attackAn engineer is developing a new material that would deliver drugs directly to the damaged part of the heart to preserve the support network, or extracellular matrix while blocking two enzymes.
