University of Pittsburghengineering faculty members are pursuing research relating to “regenerative medicine.”The funding crisis required a change in the mind-set of some engineers in academia. Simply put,they felt that they had to focus more of their reading in the molecular and life sciences.Addressing Some of the Infrastructure Problems of UgandaThe short-term solution for many health problems of rural Uganda has three components: Thefirst (an engineering solution) is to provide a supply of safe water. The second (an educationalsolution) is to help the people learn the techniques necessary to 1) obtain and maintain the sourceof the safe water and 2) assure the safety of the water supply.
