Description:

Welcome! Our office is operating remotely. To quickly access information and contacts for Bioengineering (BE), please visit our virtual office. In the laboratory of Dan Huh, Wilf Family Term Assistant Professor in Bioengineering, research using tissue modeling has led the team to send their lung-on-a-chip to the International Space Station to study infections in a microgravity environment. Read More A Record 15 BE Students Receive 2020 NSF Graduate Research Fellowships The Department of Bioengineering at Penn is incredibly proud of its fifteen current and future graduate student recipients of the 2020 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP). The prestigious NSF GRFP program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported fields. Continue reading for a list of 2020 recipients and descriptions of their research. READ MORE Danielle Bassett Among Science’s ‘Favorite Photos of 2019’ Danielle Bassett, J. Peter Skirkanich Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, poses underneath a giant visualization of the brain’s structural connections, projected on the wall behind her. Bassett’s research combines elements of physics, mathematics, engineering and neuroscience to provide a new look at how brain function arises from these networks of neurons. Read More How the Bioengineering Department’s Bio-MakerSpace Became a Hub for Start-Ups The George H. Stephenson Foundation Educational Laboratory and Bio-MakerSpace, more commonly known as the Bio-MakerSpace, has recently become a hub for Penn student start-ups that continue after graduation. Beyond offering a home base for projects by Bioengineering majors, the lab is also open to Penn students, regardless of major. Unlike other departmental undergraduate labs, the Bio-MakerSpace encourages interdisciplinary projects and collaborations from students across  all different majors. Read More Penn Nanoparticles are Less Toxic to T Cells Engineered for Cancer Immunotherapy Penn researchers, led by Michael Mitchell, Skirkanich Assistant Professor of Innovation of Bioengineering in the School of Engineering and Applied Science and Margaret Billingsley, a graduate student in his lab, have demonstrated a new engineering technique that, because it is less toxic to the T cells, could enable a different mechanism for altering the way they recognize cancer, and could have fewer side effects for patients. Read More Alex Hughes Receives the First MIRA Award of Penn SEAS We would like to congratulate Assistant Professor in Bioengineering Alex Hughes, Ph.D., on receiving the Maximizing Investigators’ Research Award (MIRA) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which funds investigators to create flexible and forward-thinking research programs. Hughes is the first recipient of this award in Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science, marking a major accomplishment for him and his lab. Read More BE News Tsourkas Lab and Penn Start-up AlphaThera Awarded NIH Grant to Improve COVID-19 Detection Assays 09.03.2020 | Read MoreJennifer Phillips-Cremins Wins CZI Grant to Study 3D Genome’s Role in Neurodegenerative Disease 08.25.2020 | Read MoreDanielle Bassett on ‘A Radical New Model of the Brain’ 08.19.2020 | Read More View More BE Events BE Seminar: “Stem Cell Fate is a Touchy Subject” (Quinton Smith) Event DetailsBE/MINS Seminar: “Mapping emotions: discovering structure in mesoscale electrical brain recordings” (Kafui Dzirasa, Duke University) Event DetailsBE Seminar: “Patients, Providers and Data: How the EMR and Data Science are Changing Clinical Care” (Kevin Johnson) Event Details View More Why Penn Bioengineering? Welcome to Penn, home to one of the oldest and most successful bioengineering departments in the United States. Our undergraduate and graduate programs consistently rate among the top 10 in the country. Bioengineering capitalizes on Penn’s great institutional strengths, including a compact urban campus of 12 separate schools, geographic proximity linking the engineering and medical schools within one city block, and a collaborative, integrated environment.Penn Bioengineering endorses the University’s commitment to diversity outlined in the Penn Compact 2020. We strive to attract a diverse community of students, faculty and staff in order to provide an accessible, rigorous engineering education for our students, and to improve our local and global communities through engineering education and research.
