People become engineers because they have a passion for creating knowledge and technologies that serve society. UVA Engineering’s "For Good" series shares their voices.

Papin emphasizes data science in every class he teaches. In the lab, Papin and his team use both laboratory experiments and computer models to predict how cells will change and react in various conditions.

Our collaborative, translational model leads to exceptional student outcomes

Trainees gain depth and breadth through immersion in UVA’s multidisciplinary imaging research ecosystem.

Six years ago, Diana Albarracin moved with her family from Colombia to the United States. Today she is majoring in BME at UVA, one of a growing number of first-generation students at UVA. They make up nearly 13% of the Class of 2023, an increase of about 19% over last year.

Just a handful of universities have multiple members on the 69-person board of the journal Cell Systems, including Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, UCSF and UVA.

Data science is defining the field of biomedical engineering

At the University of Virginia, we are training the next generation of data-driven biomedical engineers.

UVA chemical engineer, Matt Lazzara, convenes multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team to design combination therapy for pancreatic cancer

Matthew J. Lazzara, an associate professor of chemical engineering and researchers in his lab are devising a better way to pancreatic cancer.

The curricula of the future will emphasizing cell and molecular biology, linear algebra, statistics, systems modeling, and machine learning. By positioning the future biomedical engineering leaders to harness data science and machine learning, we can slow down antibiotic resistance.

For BME departments, it's a call to action

No other academic discipline is as well positioned to integrate biomedical data science into its research programs and student training programs.
