Awards and recognition from the Biomedical Engineering Society
The Department of Biomedical Engineering recently won two graduate student awards and two faculty awards,and had six undergraduate posters accepted to the BMES annual conference.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Binghamton University recently won a number of awards from the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES).
The first awards came from the 2018 BMES Advanced Biomanufacturing Meeting. Sebastian Freeman, a PhD student working with Professor and Department Chair Kaiming Ye, received a Graduate Travel Award. The title of his presentation was “Biofabrication of Tissue-Engineered Vessel Grafts”.
PhD candidate Melissa Mendoza also received the 2018 BMES Student Travel Award that award provides a complimentary registration to the 2018 BMES Annual Meeting and a travel stipend to help with travel costs.
At the same meeting, Assistant Professor Tracy Hookway received a Junior Faculty Research Award for her presentation, “Heterotypic impacts on stem cell derived cardiomyocyte phenotype and function,” and Assistant Professor Ahyeon Koh won the Early Career Development Award, which supports the travel costs associated with attending the 2018 BMES Annual Meeting.
The 2018 BMES Annual Meeting will also feature quite a few Binghamton University students. Six undergraduate students have been chosen to present at the 2018 BMES Annual Conference in Atlanta: Jacob Gershon, Natalie Mueller, Julia Wilcox, Kaitlin Enright, Margaret Blystone and Emma Northrup. Several students were also part of the Binghamton University Biomedical Engineering Research Experience for Undergraduates program that took place in summer 2018 with funding from the National Science Foundation.
