The competition is the department’s biggest annual event. More than 60 undergraduate and graduate students presented their research posters at the 2023 Biomedical Engineering(link is external) Research Expo.
Internationally renowned researchers exchange ideas around prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The event, co-hosted by the College of Engineering and the Cancer Center, brought together internationally recognized researchers for the launch of the UA Cancer Engineering Initiative.
The second annual Patent Medallion Luncheon recognized 17 engineering faculty for 24 inventions.
Some diseases, like cancer, can progress silently, avoiding detection until it’s too late. An ultrasensitive sensor could detect a disease before symptoms appear, letting health care providers treat the disease early, when it’s still curable. The sensor could also be used in a COVID-19 breath test.
Three UArizona founded and commercialized bioscience startups accepted to Flinn Foundation Entrepreneurship Program. Tech Launch Arizona helped these companies through various processes to help each startup team strategize for the future and prepare for the competition.
BIO5's interdisciplinary approach to scientific research has resulted in disease prevention strategies and promising new therapies, innovative diagnostics and devices, and improved food crops.
Engineering and business students have much to learn from each other – and from coursework that covers both fields. And they should start acquiring that knowledge early. These beliefs are guiding the new Eller-Engineering Entrepreneurship initiative, also known as E3 or E cubed.
