Symposium Program<\/a><\/p>\n

Mission Statement<\/b><\/p>\n

The College of Engineering REU Research Symposium at the University of Georgia provides a platform to present biomedical engineering research conducted by exploring the interface between nanotechnology and biomedicine. A diverse group of undergraduate STEM students from thirteen\u00a0universities\u00a0across and outside\u00a0the country will share the culmination of their summer-long interdisciplinary research efforts. Their findings will contribute to scientific publications, inspire future projects, and provide the groundwork for continued exploration. This symposium is a credit to the success of an REU program designed to increase participation of underrepresented STEM students and encourage interdisciplinary research.<\/p>\n

Announcement<\/b><\/p>\n

The College of Engineering at the University of Georgia is pleased to invite you to the third\u00a0annual College of Engineering REU Research Symposium. The symposium will begin at 8:00 A.M. on July 26th, 2018, at the Paul D. Coverdell Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences Auditorium.<\/p>\n

Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to revolutionize medicine. This symposium will present research conducted at the intersection of nanotechnology and biomedicine to answer specific biomedical engineering questions.<\/p>\n

The pool of scheduled speakers represents a diverse STEM student population. These fifteen\u00a0individuals in undergraduate programs at thirteen universities from across the country have a range of majors including engineering, mathematics, and life sciences. They spent the summer collaborating with pairs of professors to take an interdisciplinary approach to their total-immersion, hands-on research. This symposium provides a platform for these students to present the culmination of their efforts. Their research will contribute to publications, provide the groundwork for more extensive exploration, and inspire new projects.<\/p>\n

The research presented will cover a range of topics including the following:<\/p>\n

* 3D Atlas of Zebrafish Central Nervous System using Light Sheet\u00a0<\/b>Microscopy<\/b><\/p>\n

* AirCure: A 2in1 System for SLA Prints and Medical Applications<\/b><\/p>\n

* Validating a Microfluidic Platform for Cancer Cell Migration Study<\/b><\/p>\n

* Designing a novel microfluidic device to mimic the cortical\u00a0 microarchitecture<\/b><\/p>\n

* Design and Characterization of Pectin Hydrogel for Biomedical Application<\/b><\/p>\n

* Stretchable fiber optics sensors for soft robotics<\/b><\/p>\n

* Nitric Oxide Releasing Antibacterial Biodegradable Temporary Skin Template<\/b><\/p>\n

* Determining Effectiveness of High v. Low Passage MSCs<\/b><\/p>\n

* Metal Doping Carbon Dots for Noninvasive Cancer Treatments<\/b><\/p>\n

* Portable Blood Flow Monitor using Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging<\/b><\/p>\n

* The Characterization of Lipid Bilayers using DIB Technique<\/b><\/p>\n

* Detection of Early Osteogenesis in Engineered MSCs with Second Harmonic Imaging<\/b><\/p>\n

* Using HR-MAS to Generate Real Time Data for Mesenchymal Stem Cells<\/b><\/p>\n

* Optimizing Microfluidics to Evaluate the Interaction Between CAR T Cells and Solid Tumors<\/b><\/p>\n

* Nanoparticle Separation using Magnetic Force in a Microfluidic System<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
