Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices

Last night, the Fischell Institute hosted several lab tours for the newly admitted students from the Women in Engineering program. The tours were led by MPower Fellow Chelsea Neumann, who also serves as a graduate assistant for the WIE program.

Bailey Felix of the BAM Lab, led by Ryan Sochol, is defending her Ph.D. today! Her research focuses on designing and manufacturing new classes of surgical robots using advanced 3D printing and microfluidic technologies.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Fischell Institute this #givingday
