Welcome to new or returning members:

Please take the opportunity to welcome several new members to the IBE family: Ivan Avalos (Iowa State), Gerald Jones (Utah State) and Diana Vanegas (Clemson). These individuals (re)joined IBE since October. Great to have you with us!

Nominate your member colleagues for one of IBE’s prestigious awards!

About two weeks remain to nominate deserving members to be considered for designation as an IBE Fellow or for the Biological Engineering Leadership Award. The process could not be easier…visit the website before January 17.

Springtime in Georgia

Now’s the time to plan for the IBE conference to be held March 19-21! The abstract deadline is January 17, and the registration deadline to obtain reduced fees is January 31. And don’t forget the Student Bioethics Essay Contest (essay submissions are due February 7). Fees are quite reasonable, and students are encouraged participate in the conference. Get involved with your IBE by seeking nomination to the Council, or volunteer your time.

Member-Recruit-Member campaign continues!

We still have a deal for you! Any IBE member can recruit just two new members to IBE and obtain a one year complimentary membership. This is a great opportunity for those involved in Biological Engineering to engage with IBE programs. Moreover, we now have three membership periods to choose from…starting either January 1, May 1 or September 1. So, there is no better time to share IBE with your colleagues.

Get involved

IBE encourages inquiry and interest in biological engineering, the emerging discipline that applies biological systems to enhance the quality and diversity of life. Biological engineering lies at the interfaces of biological sciences, engineering sciences, mathematics and computational sciences.
