Award given to the BME summer immersion program
Another award was given to develop an annual two-month clinical research training course at Weill Medical College (WCMC) for Ithaca campus biomedical engineering (BME) PhD students. The project, led by Yi Wang, associate professor of physics in radiology and other researchers at WCMC, and Lawrence Bonassar, associate professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Program in Biomedical Engineering (BME) in Ithaca, will give first-year BME graduate students exposure to research encountered in clinical practice. BME students typically have strong physical or quantitative science background but tend to lack exposure to clinical health sciences.
