BMES 2024
The 2024 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) annual meeting took place in Baltimore, Maryland, from October 23–26. This national conference brought together researchers, students, and professionals from across the biomedical engineering community to share innovations, explore new collaborations, and engage in professional development.
The University of Rochester Department of Biomedical Engineering was well-represented by several faculty members, staff, and some of our most accomplished students who contributed to the program through posters, presentations, and networking sessions. We hosted a department reception on Thursday evening, where alumni, faculty, friends, and industry partners were invited to connect and celebrate the ongoing success of our community. The event provided a great opportunity for attendees to catch up, exchange ideas, and strengthen professional relationships in a more informal setting.
