Traditional prosthetic hands can cost up to $50,000 and require replacement as children grow, putting them out of reach for many families. For individuals born without fingers or hands, or who lose them due to injury, affordable prosthetic options are often limited by cost, access, and long wait times. Students at the Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed) are […]

In classrooms and labs across the Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed), innovation doesn’t happen in silos. It happens when engineering precision intersects with medical reality.   This Valentine’s Day, EnMed is spotlighting two staff members who demonstrate that intersection in their work every day: Flordeliz “Liz” Bowles, medical radiological technologist, and Steven Bowles, laboratory manager.   While they work in different areas of the program, […]

One of the most significant challenges in today’s ever-changing health care landscape is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) while protecting patient privacy and supporting broader access to high-quality care.  As the technology rapidly evolves, institutions at the forefront of innovation are turning to researchers who can bridge leading-edge engineering with real-world clinical impact.  Associate professor at Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed), Dr. Yanmin Gong’s innovative work in federated learning, a technology that enables hospitals to collaboratively train AI models without […]

One in five medical students experience some level of food insecurity, according to national surveys from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network. As Thanksgiving nears, the Texas A&M School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed) is demonstrating how compassion and innovation can work together to address one of the most basic human needs: access to food.  Through the on-campus Pocket Pantry and the student-led […]

Soft tissue diseases and injuries often go undetected until they cause serious health issues, making early monitoring and prevention critical in modern medicine. At Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed), Dr. Chandler Benjamin is addressing this challenge by studying soft tissues at their most fundamental level; work that is shaping biomedical research while […]

For medical students, learning neuroanatomy from a textbook is like trying to learn to drive from photographs; it’s technically accurate, but far from enough. The brain’s complexity demands more than flat images to truly learn it.   Recognizing this gap, Texas A&M School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed) student Duncan Salmon decided not to just struggle through […]
