Allegheny General’s Mario Lemieux Center has opened a newly renovated $19M cath lab, bringing pulsed‑field ablation and upgraded electrophysiology tools to the North Side.

The Army and Carnegie Mellon staged a robotics and autonomy forum at CMU’s new RIC this week, underscoring Pittsburgh’s bid to attract defense‑tech contracts and jobs.

Pitt researchers turned a harmless eye bacterium into a prototype "living eye drop" that secretes anti-inflammatory IL-10 and sped cornea healing in mice. The proof-of-concept could reduce repeated dosing, but human trials are still distant.
