In this episode, Kathleen Kolberg, Ph.D., Associate Dean, College of Science, Office of the Dean, Assistant Director of the Center for Health Sciences Advising, shares how Notre Dame helped set the standard for NICU design and care.
We also hear from Ainee Martin, a recently graduated chemical engineering and pre-med student whose passion for helping others was born of her past experience with medical professionals following the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Their stories reflect the University of Notre Dame’s interdisciplinary approach to healthcare—one that’s preparing the next generation of doctors to be a force for good in the world.

- Airborne disease detection made easier with new, low-cost deviceAirborne hazardous chemicals can be dilute, mobile, and hard to trap. Yet accurately measuring these chemicals is critical in protecting human health and the environment. Now, a new, small, low-cost device, nicknamed ABLE, could make the collection and detection of airborne hazards much easier and faster. The device, just four by eight inches across, was devised by Jingcheng Ma, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, and researchers at the University of Chicago. The results of their work were published in Nature Chemical Engineering.
