Blue is one of nature’s rarest hues. Unlike other colors, which come from pigments like melanin, blue is believed to be the result of structural color, where microscopically structured surfaces reflect light in certain ways that appear blue.

Tufts researchers created blue melanin, a polymer that could prove useful for advances in food technology and biology. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4zOC7AC

Martin Ugwuoke, a student in the M.S. in Bioengineering program, discusses his co-op in upstream process development modeling at Pfizer.

"I had the opportunity to work with Pfizer's CHO cell line, which is used to generate data for modeling purposes. It's a cell line that we use to make proteins for inflammatory diseases for lungs."

Karol Family Applied Technology Professor Matthias Scheutz is the co-PI on a new National Science Foundation grant to support a new NSF Science and Technology Center.

The Center for Human and Robot Co-Adaptation, led by The University of Texas at Austin, will study how people and robots can securely and effectively adapt to one another as service and assistive robots become more common in homes, hospitals, workplaces, and public spaces.

Varun Nair, a student in the M.S. in Human Factors Engineering program, discusses his co-op experience at Johnson & Johnson.

"Some days, I was focused on just one single medical device validation study for a single product. Other times, I was working on five separate projects for different teams through the same week. It helped me stay on my toes and learn a lot..."
