Congrats @edward_botchwey on winning this year's award for Outstanding Achievement in Research Engagement and Outreach! This honor is given to faculty who demonstrate excellence in research engagement and outreach to other institutions of Higher Education or external partners

Congratulations to the winners of our poster awards for the 34th Annual Suddath Symposium: Spencer Hayes (first place), Amisha Patel (second place), and Ozgenur Celik (third place). Special thanks to our speakers and to the trainees who presented posters

We are proud to honor this year’s Suddath Award winner, bioengineering graduate student Myeongsoo Kim. This is the 34th year of the Suddath Symposium, which honors the life and contributions of F.L. "Bud" Suddath, an alumnus, professor, and administrator of Georgia Tech

This is a huge win for lymphatic disease research and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our faculty

Thanks to Andrew McShan (Chemistry and Biochemistry) for their presentation at this morning's Breakfast Club Seminar. McShan shared how understanding the way fats and proteins interact in the body can inform future research, including in medicine and biotechnology

This weekend, Celebrate STEAM brought thousands of community members to campus for science and art demos to kickoff the Atlanta Science Festival. We love seeing the next generation of scientists learn and grow! Thank you to all the volunteers who made this event possible

The first Project ENGAGES alumnus to earn a doctorate, Kendreze Holland, proves that the access to resources and mentorship the program provides can change a student’s trajectory. Read his story: bit.ly/4skqwom.

Gene therapy is advancing, but natural viral delivery tools still struggle to reach the right cells. Today's Bioengineering Seminar speaker, David Schaffer of UC Berkeley, tackles this challenge by “evolving” better versions of these viruses. Join our next seminar on 3/3

As the US turns 250 this year, @theNAEng is celebrating centuries of American innovation by highlighting the achievements that have helped shape our nation. Check out this video featuring the ways in which Bioengineering has enhanced human life: bit.ly/4bYR3me

Congratulations, Leanne West! These honors are an incredible recognition of her impact and leadership in pediatric innovation. We’re excited to continue her partnership with IBB as she advances this important work

Two leaders in STEM spoke to Project ENGAGES scholars yesterday: Ralph Long Jr. was one of the first Black students at Tech and is depicted among the "three pioneers" statues in Harrison Square. Dr. Darryl Tookes is a retired surgeon and a relative of a current ENGAGES scholar
