7th Annual Research Symposium

UIC Biomedical Engineering Research Symposium

The Richard and Loan Hill Department of Biomedical Engineering sponsors the UIC Biomedical Engineering Research Symposium every spring on the UIC campus. The symposium features a keynote presentation along with lightning talks and poster presentations from both undergraduate and graduate students. This year’s symposium will occur on Friday, April 18, 2025.

The students’ research covers topics that touch on the comprehensive breadth of work being done in the biomedical engineering field, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, antibiotic resistance, biomedical imaging, cancer detection, and wearable technologies.

The symposium provides an excellent opportunity for students to hone their presentation skills to other students, faculty, and industrial judges. Awards are given out to students in a variety of categories.

All undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows/associates, and research associates/fellows/specialists at UIC engaged in biomedical engineering research within or outside the College of Engineering are encouraged to participate in the symposium. Students who present at the symposium will have the chance to be judged by experienced professors and compete for prizes!
