ValVention Inc., an Irvine cardiovascular device company, received a $350,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The funding supports the study of ValVention’s FoldaValve, a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system, which can help restore blood flow to patients suffering from aortic valve stenosis – a disease in which the heart valve narrows and reduces blood flow to the body. … The device originated at California Institute of Technology and was developed at University of California, Irvine by Professor of [Biomedical] Engineering and Medicine Arash Kheradvar.
University of California, Irvine, engineering professor Brett Sanders says south Orange County, especially, now has a large sand deficit. "Our natural sand supplies have been significantly reduced," Sanders wrote in an email.
Brett Sanders, a University of Irvine professor of civil and environmental engineering, walked on the other end of the project recently at Linda Lane. He noted that the city’s project is a good start. "But it’s only one piece of the puzzle," he added. "What we need to be thinking about is the entire Southern California coastline from San Diego up to Santa Barbara and thinking about how we restore natural supplies to the coast.” … "So the question is, what is the long term plan? And we’re going to need more projects like this," he said.
UC Irvine Professor Brett Sanders says .... the data will help urban planning and public policy researchers to see how millions of people living in those high-flood risk areas could be affected. UC Irvine Professor Richard Matthew says that list could include, “their employment, their housing, their health, their transportation, their credit scores.” Matthew says history has shown poor communities fare far worse than wealthy communities. “We could take steps that reduce the vulnerability of the poorest people in our country,” Matthew said.
“For millennia, people have been fascinated by transparency and invisibility, which have inspired philosophical speculation, works of science fiction, and much academic research,” said lead author Atrouli Chatterjee, a UCI doctoral student in chemical & biomolecular engineering.
Vialase Inc., an Aliso Viejo glaucoma-focused medtech startup, has hired executives to its board and C-suite. … The company’s CEO, Tibor Juhasz, previously cofounded Irvine medtech company IntraLase, which harnessed similar laser technology. Juhasz is currently a biomedical engineering [and ophthalmology] professor at University of California, Irvine.

Inspired by squid skin, engineers at UC Irvine have created a cheap, easy-to-recycle material that can be “tuned” to regulate heat. As insulation for food and beverage packages, it could ensure that whatever is inside cools at the perfect rate.
"We are on the precipice of huge growth in the production, distribution, and use of green hydrogen to enable high renewable use and zero emissions in all sectors of the economy," Jack Brouwer, director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California, Irvine, said in a statement.
