Translational Biomedical Advances Highlighted at Inaugural BTEC Symposium
Promising advances in biological engineering were the topics of discussion at the Bioengineering Technology & Entrepreneurship Center’s (BTEC) inaugural symposium this month. The event featured former BME faculty member and current dean of the Brown University School of Engineering Tejal Desai, as well as several BME faculty members and an industry executive.
Converging on Training Tomorrow’s Bioengineers
With an NSF grant, a BU program will train a diverse group of PhD students for tomorrow’s workforce in biotech, synthetic biology, and other sectors.
Building a Collaborative Culture
Building a collaborative culture involves retaining and recruiting faculty committed to, and excited by, the concept. That requires strong leadership that can guide and encourage faculty. The College of Engineering appointed long-time faculty member Elise Morgan to do just that as Associate Dean for Research & Faculty Development.
Morgan Named First Maysarah K. Sukkar Professor of Engineering Design & Innovation
ENG alumnus Malek Sukkar (MFG ’92) has established the College’s first endowed professorship.
When the Robot Becomes the Researcher
New autonomous researcher can speed up discovery of the best 3D-printed materials
New Center for Multiscale and Translational Mechanobiology Announced
The College of Engineering has established a new Center for Multiscale and Translational Mechanobiology (CMTM) that will facilitate new research projects between faculty from ENG, the College of Arts and Sciences, Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and BU Medical School.
