Dr. Kimani Toussaint recently joined the Brown Community as a Professor of Engineering and is affiliated with Electrical and Computer Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

In enabling Ph.D. program leaders to drop the requirement to submit test scores, the Graduate School looks to attract talented, high-achieving students from an increasingly diverse pool of candidates.

Brown University researchers, surgeons from Rhode Island Hospital and private partners will develop and test a device aimed at bridging the gap in neural circuitry created by spinal cord injury, in the hope of restoring muscle control and sensation.

BME ScM student Kenzie Magnan started chasing after her engineering dreams when she was 9 years old, “I was one of those kids who tore everything apart. My parents got me an expensive robosapien for Christmas and within a week I’d torn it apart and started playing with the motor.”

Brown Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology graduate students kick-started the 2019-2020 academic year with two community building events at the residence of Dr. Vicki Colvin, the Director of the Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBME).

In June, Andrew Marshall was in Providence as the keynote speaker at the Rhode Island IDeA Symposium.

Brown School of Engineering's Abigail Kohler '20 (biomedical engineering) and Greg Fine '20 (electrical engineering) were recently named to Rhode Island Inno's second annual Inno Under 25 list.

Huddled over laptops lit by colorful lines of code, around 80 students collaborated in 13 teams at the fourth annual Brown Hack Health event over the weekend.

The Brown BME family welcomes students who call different cities, states, and countries around the world ‘home’. But BME alumna Kelsey Sandquist has a different definition for ‘home’, “I wrote my CommonApp essay on being asked by people where I am from,” she said.

On the surface, Summer@Brown (S@B) is a pre-college program that offers a range of courses reflecting the breadth and depth of Brown’s undergraduate curriculum, but the opportunities here are not only for pre-college students.

BME faculty, staff, and students along with our colleagues in the Biotechnology graduate program gathered on Pembroke field for food and fun on Thursday, August 29th!

A new technique for isolating cells carrying the full fetal genome from cervical swabs could enable doctors to diagnose genetic disorders without using needles to harvest cells from the placenta.

Pratt dean arrived in Rhode Island knowing few people and without a plan for his future.

“Who wants to build a knee?” This was the question posed by sophomore Trang Duong to the engineers present at the Brown University buildathon in March 2016 — an annual event where builders and designers come together and make some creative, funky, and (sometimes) useful things.

Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States experience mental illness in a given year. Severe mental illnesses cause the brain to have trouble dealing with cognitively effortful states, like focusing attention over long periods of time, discriminating between two things that are difficult to tell apart, and responding quickly to information that is coming in fast.

In a finding that could shed light on tissue formation, wound healing and cancer spread, a new study shows that human cells follow the same rules as non-living particles to form fractal-like branching structures.

More than 240 undergraduates gathered in Sayles Hall on August 1 and 2 to present the results of their research at the annual Summer Research Symposium sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the College.

Brown Biomedical Innovations to Impact will award five faculty projects $100,000 each to accelerate promising medical solutions into commercial technologies.

As a first-year student, Emily Hsieh ’12 was in a friend’s dorm room and happened to look into the closet. “She had a ball in there, and I said, ‘Oh, is that a rugby ball?’ She said yes and told me when practice was the next day. I showed up, and then I was hooked.”

Assistant Professor Anita Shukla is among the winners of the Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering, the nation's top honor for early-career scientists and engineers.

Understanding the normal molecular interactions could aid in the development of therapeutics to prevent the formation of clumps associated with ALS and frontotemporal dementia.

The awards for early-career faculty will support research in computer networking, algebraic geometry, neurodegenerative diseases and robotics.
