UTD Bioengineering Goes to BMES

The University of Texas at Dallas Department of Bioengineering participated in the Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting (BMES) in Seattle, Washington, this fall. The Department of Bioengineering, sent twenty-four PhD students, four undergraduate students, seven faculty members, and four staff members as representatives at the conference.

During the event, our representatives had the opportunity to network and learn about the latest research in other bioengineering departments. Our graduate and undergraduate students also presented their research in podium and poster presentations. In addition, Dr. Dingal’s Lab and two Ph.D. students shared their experience at BMES on the department’s Instagram page, giving everyone a glimpse of what the conference was like.

Along with research presentations and a booth, the department also co-sponsored a Gender Equity Luncheon. Dean Stephanie G. Adams wrapped up the luncheon with a small empowering talk giving her insight about women in engineering. The event had over 200 attendees, with UTD students, faculty, and staff attending.

The department wrapped up the conference with a small reception hosted at Wild Ginger. Students, faculty candidates, and alums enjoyed fantastic food and networking.

The Department of Bioengineering looks forward to next year’s conference and encourages more students to participate. Thank you to those who stopped and participated at the booth! The department looks forward to seeing everyone next year!
