Congratulations to Carly, Sophie and Marci who all won the Abrams Scholar for 2017-2018!

About the Abrams Scholars Program:

Abrams Scholars are outstanding BME undergraduate students who are selected to receive a stipend to conduct hands-on laboratory research projects. These projects are conceived and designed by the students with the guidance of a faculty mentor. The Abrams Scholar program honors C. Frank Abrams, Jr., a BME and BAE emeritus faculty member. Dr. Abrams led the development of the first courses in Biomedical Engineering at NC State and was instrumental in the founding of NC State’s BME Department, the creation of the joint UNC-CH/NC State graduate program, and ultimatel,y the launch of the UNC-CH/NC State Joint BME Department. He was the Joint Department’s first senior design instructor as well as the first Director of Graduate Studies.

Elizabeth, Harsha, and Michael all presented on their research at the 26th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. Additionally, Elizabeth won an award for Top Presentation for her poster, titled “Validating Laser Doppler Flowmetry For In Vivo Longitudinal Measurements Of Bone Blood Perfusion”. We’re so lucky to have such amazing undergrads!

Four of our undergrads had abstracts accepted AND received travel awards to present at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) at the University of Memphis in April!! Congrats, Elizabeth, Harsha, Michael, and Sophie!

 

 

Amir, Austin, and Chris all graduated from the UNC/NCSU Joint Department of biomedical engineering today. We’re so happy for them, but they will be sorely missed in the lab.

Harsha Pinnamaraju’s research proposal was selected for a Summer Research Grant for the NCSU Office of Undergraduate Research. Congratulations Harsha!

Elizabeth presented her research at the 25th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium at NC State. Her poster was titled “Obesity and Exercise-induced Bone Microarchitecture Changes are Associated with Bone Blood Perfusion in Mice”.
