BME Magazine | Fall 2019
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the founding of our department, we look back on another successful year of UR BME! This edition shares the latest advances in research, developments in education, and updates on the achievements of our UR BME students, faculty and staff. Three of our faculty members were inducted into AIMBE’s College of Fellows and several received honors for teaching and mentorship, while others developed exciting new industry partnerships to translate their research advances to commercial products and clinical practice. Catch up with our alumni and explore ways to stay engaged with our BME Department through volunteering, visiting, mentorship, and more. And be sure to check out the front and back covers featuring the groundbreaking research happening in the new labs of Professors Edmund Lalor and Ross Maddox (BME and Neuroscience).
