Showcase your research findings at the BMES 2026 Annual Meeting in Orlando.
We are now accepting submissions for: Late-Breaking Abstracts: Open to all researchers, these abstracts highlight timely and novel research findings and are eligible for poster presentation only.
Late-breaking abstracts are open to everyone and are only eligible for a poster presentation.
The BMES2026 Annual Meeting High School Poster Expo on Saturday, October 24, provides high school students with a unique opportunity to present scientific work to leaders in biomedical engineering. If accepted, participants will obtain valuable feedback and unique networking opportunities with peers, professors and industry professionals.
Meet the teams chosen in the Treating Hereditary Rare Diseases with In Vivo Precision Genetic Medicines (THRIVE) program. These projects represent a critical investment to bring new treatments to patients faster and cure rare genetic pediatric diseases. Life-threatening rare genetic diseases affect millions of Americans, many of them newborns, infants, and children, with no treatments for the root cause. Read More
The 250th Anniversary of our country is a time to reflect on what brings us together. It’s also a time to recognize that for two and a half centuries, the nation has championed innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, shaping industries, pioneering breakthroughs, and inspiring progress around the world.
For biomedical engineers, it’s also a unique opportunity to celebrate our leadership in healthcare research, scientific discovery, and technological innovation. Biomedical engineering is the backbone of modern medical advancement, and the members of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) sit at the center of the biomedical engineering ecosystem.
On the 4th of July, USA Today, with support from Acumen International Media, launched the special America 250: Leading Through Innovationcampaign on USAToday.comcelebrating the visionaries, industries and organizations defining the nation’s next chapter. BMES was asked to participate and represent biomedical engineering. Your work demonstrates that the American spirit remains resilient, inventive, and influential.
Our video series celebrating last year's BMES award recipients and innovators whose work is shaping the future of biomedical engineering continues with our penultimate spotlight.
Our newest spotlight features Dr. Meenal Datta, Associate Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame and recipient of the 2025 Rita Schaffer Young Investigator Award.
Through her pioneering research in mechano-immunology, Datta is redefining how scientists study cancer by exploring how the physical forces surrounding tumors influence the immune system and even leveraging the unique environment of space to advance cancer research. Read More
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has proposedsignificant changesto the rules that govern federal grants across all agencies of the government, including NIH, and NSF. These changes would impact areas including the peer-review system and attendance at scientific conferences such as the BMES Annual Meeting. BMES submitted the following comment to OMB specifically targeting scholarly publishing and conference attendance.
Experiential learning (EL) is a valued component of modern engineering education that together with a rigorous design curriculum prepares students for transition to engineering practice. However, multiple challenges remain to integrating resource-intensive courses into a biomedical engineering (BME) curriculum in a manner that adds value without sacrificing necessary breadth. In this experience, specialized skills often needed to implement senior design concepts were lacking or came too late for optimal impact. Read More
