VT-WFU Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Student Chapter

The VT-WFU Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Student Chapter is a joint organization whose mission is to encourage the development, dissemination, integration and utilization of knowledge in biomedical engineering. Students in our chapter are conducting exciting biomedical research in the areas of musculoskeletal biomechanics, imaging, cell and tissue engineering, and nanotechnology for medical applications. At our exhibit, kids will make hydrogel scaffolds used to regenerate tissue in the lab, learn about molecular analysis through extraction of DNA from strawberries, examine changes in body temperature using a thermal camera, and measure brainwave activity playing the brain game!
