Annual UVa BMES Graduate Symposium
|
During the academic year, the BME Seminar Series is a weekly event
that brings together faculty, students, and clinicians across
disciplines from the University and Medical Center to learn about new
research and technologies in the biomedical sciences and engineering.
Research presentations are given by prominent speakers from within the
UVA community and nationally recognized biomedical engineers, cell and
molecular biologists and clinicians in academia and industry. There
are special seminars presented throughout the year as well: a BMES
student chapter sponsored speaker, BME Graduate Student Research
Symposium, and the BME Distinguished Speaker Seminar Series. The
Distinguished Speaker series is a great opportunity for all of us to
hear from a prominent and internationally recognized leader in the
field of biomedical science and engineering. These may include
department chairs, national academy members, and industrial leaders in
biotechnology. All students and faculty are expected to attend each
weekly Friday seminar. A "Meet the Speaker" session is open for all
graduate students following the seminar presentation, and provides a
unique opportunity for students to engage with seminar speakers in a
more informal manner.
