Glad to present our group's findings at the 10th World Congress of Biomechanics in Vancouver! #WCB2026 #Biomechanics @CornellEng @CornellBME

A new course this fall explores how engineering design can better address women’s health. Students will examine clinical challenges, device design and opportunities for innovation. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Always love running into alumni around the world! Marjolein van der Meulen spotted Shannon Hugard '18 presenting her research at the World Congress of Biomechanics in Vancouver. Shannon, a member of our inaugural 2018 undergraduate class, is now a 3rd year Ph.D. @uoregon.

Researchers led by Dr. Shaoyi Jiang (@JiangShaoyi) at @CornellBME have developed a fully synthetic 3D #hydrogel that out-performs commercial substrates like Matrigel for human stem cell culture. 🧫 This offers a safer, scalable alternative for regenerative medicine: bit.ly/3SZburC

"Cornell-led NIH grant will reveal how immune cells communicate in living tissues." A $13.3M NIH grant unites researchers across @Cornell & at University of Rochester Medicine to reveal how immune cells communicate in living tissues, develop new therapies. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

A photo pause at the annual faculty retreat today, where we're cooking up some plans for the future of biomedical engineering education, research, and engagement at Cornell and beyond! duffield.cornell.edu/bme/about/

Day 1 hosting the Upstate NY Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) conference! Researchers sharing education research, building collaborations, & envisioning a stronger regional network for student success. On to day 2! nydber2026.github.io/nydberconferen…

Congrats to @FischbachLab postdoctoral researcher Irina Kopyeva on receiving a Weill Cornell Medicine Clinical and Translational Science Center grant to investigate how menopause-related changes in breast tissue may contribute to breast cancer risk. duffield.cornell.edu/kopyeva-awarde…

Great to see both new and familiar faces at last week's CAMEO retreat! Members of @HSpecialSurgery and @CornellBME connected and collaborated on bringing new ideas from benchtop research to the clinic.

Big smiles and unintentional coordinated color schemes! Happy to celebrate Women in Engineering at the alumni event this past weekend. @fischbcl17 @CornellEng @CornellMSE @CornellBME

In May, Cornell CAT brought together researchers, industry leaders and investors to accelerate life sciences innovation. Biomedical engineering faculty helped showcase technologies and partnerships that can move discoveries toward real-world impact. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Congratulations to our newest @Cornell Alumni! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what comes next! #EngineeringToMakeADifference #Cornell2026 🎓❤️

Once a Cornellian, always a Cornellian 🐻❤️ #CornellReunion
