| I haven't written an entry into my blog for 10 days. I've visited four cities and spent more than enough time in airports, highways, and long technical meetings. |
| Fortunately, I made it back in time to attend at least a small part of the celebration in honor of Columbia's new Department of Biomedical Engineering. The BME Department hosted an excellent two day seminar covering history, cell and tissue engineering, neuroscience, computational biology and genomics, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular biomechanics. |
| Biomedical engineering was born from two important breakthroughs: non-invasive medical imagining and implantable biomechanical devices. For the past 50 years, the growth and success of interdisciplinary research that combines medicine and biology with engineering and applied science has been remarkable. Of course, this event was a celebration, but the enthusiasm for the future impact of research and developments in biomedical engineering, physics, mathematics, etc. was very evident at this wonderful celebration. |
