2017 Bio-Med Tech-Girls

In the News

The 4th annual Bio-Med Tech-Girls took place the week of August 7.​ The program is a collaboration with the UVa Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), St. Anne's-Belfield School and Tech-Girls. This experience provides an opportunity for high school students to get a hands-on, behind-the-scenes peek at biomedical research happening right now at UVA. Special emphasis is placed on sharing projects and meeting researchers, faculty & students that help incorporate technology & engineering into the field. ​

Many thanks!!!

Bio-Med Tech-Girls is possible because of the generous support of the UVA BME department, St. Anne's-Belfield School, Charlottesville Women in Tech and UVA i.Lab. We are also very thankful for the many UVA faculty, staff and students who share their time and passion about solving problems through biomedical engineering.
