University researchers recently published a study analyzing the material properties of alginate graphene oxide, which could lead to new developments in both cancer research and 3D printing technology for human organ printing.

Most of our undergraduate Biomedical Engineering concentrators engage in laboratory research across campus, and greater than 50% of the Class of 2018 completed an honors research thesis.

At the first Dr. Samuel M. Nabrit Conference, molecular life scientists from historically underrepresented groups gathered at Brown to learn about cutting-edge research; Brown professors and junior researchers discussed how their identities as members of underrepresented groups have affected their career paths.

Learning at Brown is a collaborative, hands-on experience — one in which students often lead their own research projects or conduct research alongside their instructors.

In 2011, Lauren Kay Robel had to make a critical career-related decision: Did she want to serve as Indiana University at Bloomington’s interim provost?

Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, inducted new members into the Rhode Island Alpha chapter at Brown University on Friday, December 7.

David Borton received his Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis in 2006 and his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Brown University in 2012.

Deanna Stueber, better described as “Tough Chick” by her elementary school teacher Mrs. Buckley, has definitely created her own adventure here at Brown.

The only joint academic program of the School of Engineering and the Division of Biology and Medicine; research improves human health through cross-disciplinary studies and educational activities that integrate the engineering, physical sciences, life sciences and clinical practice.

By combining seaweed-derived alginate with the nanomaterial graphene oxide, Brown University researchers have developed a new material that’s durable and can respond dynamically to its environment.

Three people with paralysis participating in the BrainGate clinical trial, an effort that includes Brown University researchers, chatted with family and friends, shopped online and used other tablet computer applications, all by just thinking about pointing and clicking a mouse.

Many of our Biomedical Engineering students and faculty took part in the Society for Neuroscience 2018 meeting on November 3-7 in San Diego, California.

Jeffrey Morgan received his bachelor’s degree in biology from Syracuse University in 1977 and his PhD in biological chemistry from Harvard University in 1983.

Biomedical engineering researcher Soobin Wang '19 won the Engineering student poster division at the 18th Annual Sigma Xi Student Conference this past weekend.

Hailing from Tehran, Iran, third year PhD student Bardiya Akhbari’s road to engineering was inspired by his father who is a mechanical engineer. When Bardiya was a Mechanical Engineering student at Sharif University of Technology as an undergraduate student, he realized that he could use his modeling and programming skills to study the human body, especially joint movements and replacements.

At the Annual Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) last week in Atlanta, Georgia, Brown undergraduates, graduate students, and professors presented talks and posters. Professor KareenCoulombe presented on last year’s restructuring of Biomaterials, an upper level bioengineering course that is now presented with a case study approach.

CPHI BioProduction is a vital event for professionals in the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry, offering opportunities for learning, networking, and business development.

Ian Wong received his AB magna cum laude in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University in 2003. He did his graduate work on the directed self-assembly of biomolecular materials with Nick Melosh, receiving a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University in 2010.

"I attribute the fact that I'm here to the way Brown students faces get when they talk about what they study," says Colette Bare '19. "Their eyes light up because they're so passionate about it."

Each academic year, CBME brings a number of cutting edge researchers from within and around the Brown Biomedical Engineering community to campus for an engaging seminar series. Organized by Assistant Professor Ian Wong, this year’s seminar series will include speakers such as Brendan Harley (University of Illinois), Celeste Nelson (Princeton), and Tammy Haut Donahue (UMass Amherst).
