Summer BIE fellows: Karthik Prasad, Sara Sampson, Matthew Chan, Priya Bhattachargjee, Katherine Space, Jessica Hsueh, Michael Manguinao

The National Institutes of Health has renewed the R25 grant which funds the Bioengineering Summer Biodesign Immersion Experience, adding up to a full decade of funding for the summer immersion capstone experience for undergraduates. PI Professor Amy Herr founded and directs the summer experience, an innovative 8-week summer program that prepares bioengineers to connect engineering innovation and unmet clinical needs.

With this renewal, the summer program is now funded through 2021!
