Episode 20 - Genomics, DNA and RNA: Advances in medical engineering of genomics, including the sequencing of DNA, gene expression, microarrays and bioinformatics are helping the people studying genetic diseases and increasing the likely-hood of finding a cure. Paul Dvorak, editor-in-chief of Medical Design talks with Pieter Faber, MD of the Cleveland Clinic about the possibilities. View the entire episode here
Episode 21 - The Artificial Heart: The human heart is fairly simple machine, creating a synthetic heart isn't as simple. Bill Smith, D.Eng., P.E., Director of the Cardiac Assist and Replacement Laboratory at the Cleveland Clinic show us how an artificial heart works and what's inside that makes it tick.

Episode 22 - The Heart Pump: Not all artificial hearts are made for permanent replacement. Bill Smith, MD, Director of the Cardiac Assist and Replacement Laboratory at the Cleveland Clinic shows us the heart pump, a device designed to sustain life on a temporary basis. View the entire episode here
Episode 23 - Confocal Imaging: Confocal microscopy is an imaging technique that uses lasers to create three-dimensional images of specimens on the focal plane. Judy Drazba, Ph.D., Director of the Imaging Core at the Cleveland Clinic, shows us the images they are capable of creating. View the entire episode here
Episode 24 - Working Microscopy: Using argon lasers and a real time camera, researchers are able to load a sample and then surgically remove samples of interest at the micro level. Judy Drazba, Ph.D., Director of the Imaging Core at the Cleveland Clinic, shows us the system in action. View the entire episode here
Episode 25 - BioMEMS: Most engineers are familiar with MEMS, Microelectromechanical Systems, and their common applications in cars, displays, optical switching and pressure sensors. Shuvo Roy, Ph.D., and his team plan to bring this technology to medicine and through a very aggressive project to artificial organs. View the entire episode here
Episode 26 - Exercising in Space:With a renewed focus on space exploration comes a serious effort to keep astronauts healthy when in space for extended periods of time. Brian Davis Ph.D., of the Cleveland Clinic is working with NASA to find a way to reach this goal. View the entire episode here
Episode 27 - The Accident Lab: If you wanted to cause an injury to see how to fix it, using people as subjects might be a bit dicey on the ethics front. Brian Davis, Ph.D., of the Cleveland Clinic takes us to the Accident Lab where they tear robotic ACLs. View the entire episode here
Episode 35 - Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device: A magnetic levitating device could save newborns. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are working on very small pumps that could save a life; we'll see how they're doing it in this episode. View the entire episode here
Episode 37 - Researching the Robotic Leg: Using servo motors, magnetic encoders for monitoring and differential force on springs to create torque, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are creating robotic legs that can walk, run, jump; something we don't even think about when we do these activities.

Episode 62 - Artificial Muscles: Researchers at the Human Neuromechanics Laboratory, University of Michigan, are studying human locomotion and artificial muscles that have very high power output at a very low weight and are designed for patients with neurological disorders to aid in movement.View the entire episode here
Episode 64 - Advanced Arm and Hand Robotics: Barrett Technologies uses wire cables and brushless motors to produce a high torque and near zero-friction robotic arm that is completely backdrivable. Equipped with a robotic hand that has self-contained motors and processors, the system can be mounted on and run off a Segway's own battery system. View the entire episode here
Episode 65 - An Anthropomorphic Hand: A new robotic hand developed by the German Aerospace Institute and the Harbin Institute of Technology uses servo-actuators which are completely integrated into the hand allowing the four fingers, each with three degrees of freedom, to grip with torque and tactile sensors imitating human motor functions.
