Students

George Mason University bioengineering alumna Alessandra Coogan took advantage of all the opportunities associated with her internship at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, this summer.

George Mason University bioengineering student Berk Kasimcan spent his summer internship working on a proof of concept for what could be described as sunglasses for buildings. 

A group of local rising high school juniors and seniors attended the BioE Buzz Summer Camp hosted by the Department of Bioengineering at George Mason University in June. Throughout the week, campers met students and faculty, received tours of research facilities, and participated in hands-on lab activities. 

Mason bioengineering majors hope that their capstone project will help individuals with prosthetic limbs live more comfortable lives.

Bioengineering undergraduates demonstrate how a virtual reality-based physical rehabilitation system can improve patient outcomes.

Dulcee Valenzuela, a December 2023 grad with a degree in bioengineering, said her cancer diagnosis as a teenager helped her find her life's purpose and a career path.

With the support of her Mason mentors, doctoral student Shrishti Singh has achieved her goal of developing a promising new technology that would allow cancer to be visualized in deep tissue and perhaps diagnosed earlier.

Bioengineering undergrad Medhini Sosale wins one of the highest rewards—the Goldwater Scholarship—in the U.S. for undergrad students interested in developing STEM research careers.

The final round of George Mason University’s fifth annual Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition was held virtually on April 9. From this year’s 13 finalists, the judges chose three first-place winners and three second-place winners.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Mason doctoral student Marissa Howard was able to get back into the Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine (CAPMM) lab, but now all the researchers are working on COVID-19-related research.
