June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month 💜, a time to spotlight Coulter BME researchers rethinking approaches to brain health.

On the Holy Shift! podcast, researcher Annabelle Singer explains how carefully timed sensory stimulation may help “retune” brain activity disrupted by Alzheimer’s disease.

This noninvasive approach could one day be used to help people affected by Alzheimer’s disease, possibly even before symptoms appear.

Before becoming a biomedical engineer, Dr. Annabelle Singer dreamed of designing lights for the stage 🎭. Her first circuits powered theater sets, not lab equipment.

Today, she uses light and sound to treat diseases like Alzheimer's 💜 —turning an early love of design into groundbreaking medical discoveries.

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month 💜 —a time to raise awareness and accelerate progress toward better treatments.

At the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, researchers are exploring innovative ways to improve brain health and combat Alzheimer’s disease.

From Annabelle Singer’s work on “flicker” stimulation to a wide range of neuroengineering research, these efforts aim to better understand the brain and develop new therapies that can make a difference.

What if healing the heart meant helping it rebuild itself?

Dr. Michael Davis is working to do just that. In a recent Holy Shift! podcast episode, he shares how his team is using stem cells and innovative therapies to treat children born with severe heart defects—and give families hope for healthier, longer lives.
From fewer hospital stays to new clinical trials, this research is already making a difference.

“Things got better for them and their families.”
