A Collaborative Seminar Series
The Open BME Seminar Series is coordinated by seven of the leading BME departments in the country.
2021 Seminar Schedule
About #openbme
The goal is to expose our community to cutting edge ideas in the field of biomedical engineering by attracting a group of high-quality speakers that would be difficult for any single department to host on its own. Participating BME departments are the University of Virginia, Case Western Reserve University, Northwestern University, Rice University, University of Michigan, University of Pittsburgh, and Washington University in St. Louis.
