UC Irvine is excited to host the 15th Annual UC Systemwide Bioengineering Symposium June 18-20, 2014, at the UCI Student Center. You are invited to attend this well-established conference – a forum for faculty, researchers and students from the 10 UC campuses to network, collaborate and present the latest bioengineering research.

This year’s symposium features exciting speakers from both industry and academia as well as a Shark Tank innovation competition for students and junior faculty (**cash prizes and recognition by industry leaders for winner!). The symposium will also feature invited faculty speakers and chairs from all 10 campuses, student design and video competitions, career workshops and events with industry representatives and student poster and oral presentations. The symposium banquet this year will be held at the historic Harborside Restaurant on Balboa Island, Newport Beach. Please see our location tab on this website for pictures and more information!

Typical topics covered will include:
• Cell and Tissue Biology (biomechanics, cell and tissue engineering, micro/nano devices)
• Therapeutics (biomaterials, therapies and drug delivery, cardiovascular engineering)
• Detection (biophotonics, medical imaging, diagnostics and biosensors)
• Systems/Synthetic Biology (molecular engineering and synthetic biology, system biology)
