I wrote this paper as the final project for BME405 Intro to Drug Delivery. The assignment was to choose a disease or affliction that could be improved by incorporating a drug delivery concept covered in the class. I chose to develop a nanoparticle delivery treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This paper is currently pending publication in the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's academic journal PURSUIT which is why only the title page and abstract are included.
Open in new tab →I wrote this paper as an assignment for BME205 Anatomy and Physiology for Biomedical Engineers. The assignment was the design a device to diagnose or treat a disease of any bodily system. I chose the endocrine system and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus as my disease. My innovation was a combination blood glucose monitor and insulin pump for type 1 diabetics.

The assignment was to design a device to diagnose or treat a disease of the nervous system. I chose Alzheimer's disease and designed a patch device to detect early indicators of Alzheimer's onset through specific biomarkers.
Open in new tab →I and a group of my peers wrote this paper as an assignment for BME474. The assignment was to write a proposal to assess the safety and efficacy of a new biomedical device. We had the flexibility to choose to study an established biomaterial for a new application, a modification to an existing biomaterial, or a fully new biomaterial.
