Welcome to the University of Nebraska Agricultural Research Division (ARD). The Agricultural Research Division is the major research agency of the University of Nebraska's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and is Nebraska's Agricultural Experiment Station. ARD scientists improve the quality of life for Nebraskans across the state. They make important contributions to the state's agriculture, food industries, environment, the well-being of families, and community development. Research occurs in fields, feedlots, the natural environment, homes, yards, gardens, and cities and towns. ARD scientists provide new knowledge and seek answers to Nebraskans' problems and concerns. For Example:
A UNL biomedical engineer is developing a new approach to measuring tendon injury that could lead to earlier detection and improved treatment. The scientist, working with colleagues at the University of Southern California and Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital in Lincoln, is trying to improve early detection of tendon degeneration due to age, overuse or a systemic disease known as tendinosis. Read about this and other IANR research in Endeavors.
To the right, Greg Bashford, UNL biomedical engineer, conducts an ultrasound on a tendon.
