Dear Colleagues,
Entrepreneurship. Design-focused education. Forward-thinking faculty. Impactful research. These are the signatures of Duke Biomedical Engineering, and we’ve selected stories that highlight these pillars in our latest virtual issue of the Duke BME Magazine.
I’m thrilled to share features about Duke BME faculty who have advanced the field of biomedical imaging, research that lets neuroscientists and engineers explore the circuitry of the brain, and the design and entrepreneurship spaces in the newly opened Wilkinson Engineering Building. We’ve also shared stories that describe how our faculty, staff and students are working together to ensure that Duke BME is a welcoming and inclusive space for all.
With each year our department is evolving and growing, but our goal always remains the same: to contribute to and improve society through biomedical innovation. I’m confident that the impressive work of the Duke BME community ensures that we will always achieve that goal.
I hope you enjoy learning more about our top-ranked department.
Best wishes,
Ashutosh Chilkoti
