From October 11-14, 2023, the Biomedical Engineering Society hosted their national meeting in Seattle WA. Many of UCLA’s Bioengineering department members attended to present their research, compete in student competitions, and participate in networking opportunities. This year UCLA was represented at the exhibit hall with faculty, staff, and student volunteers at the booth to advertise the department, recruit prospective candidates to our undergraduate and graduate programs, and promote research job opportunities. On October 12, 2023, the UC Systemwide Reception was held in the Elliot Bay Room in the Seattle Convention Center with all 10 UC campuses represented.
