\"\"<\/a>The University of Connecticut and Brown University are co-hosting the Biomedical Engineering Society\u2019s annual meeting<\/a> at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford now through Saturday, October 15.<\/p>\n

The BMES meeting features more than 1,500 poster presentations, hundreds of oral presentations during three full days of symposia and sessions on all aspects of biomedical engineering. There is also a Career Day for students and early-career professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meeting is a vehicle for understanding the latest trends in biomedical engineering as it embodies the cutting-edge of BME research and technological developments from faculty and students from top universities and colleges,\u201d says Donald Peterson<\/a>, director of the Bio-Engineering Center<\/a> at the Health Center and vice chair of the meeting.<\/p>\n

Many of the University\u2019s faculty and students are participating in the meeting through lectures and poster presentations. The theme this year is \u201cFostering Collaborative Academic, Clinical, and Industrial Research in Biomedical Engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson says there are feature presentations on nanomedicine, personalized medicine and translational education. \u201cI am proud to announce that a newly restructured Translational Biomedical Engineering track has been incorporated into this year\u2019s program that promises to demonstrate how translation is BME\u2019s next engineering milestone. This track will have platform presentations and posters from students and faculty who are on the cutting-edge of\u00a0translational work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also new this year is an additional plenary lecture sponsored by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) on Robotics and Sensory Motor Restoration.<\/p>\n

Dr. Cato T. Laurencin<\/a>, who leads the Health Center\u2019s Institute for Regenerative Engineering<\/a> and the Connecticut Institute for Clinical and Translational Science<\/a>, is this year\u2019s winner of the BMES Diversity Award. On Saturday, he will give a lecture \u201cWhat I Teach When I Mentor, What I’ve Learned When I’ve Been Taught.\u201d<\/p>\n
