Previous Seminars
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.
