Four dept members were celebrated by @innovateunc for obtaining a patent in 2024. Our researchers contribute significantly to @unc & @ncstate's history of research translation to the marketplace, consistently securing them on the @AcadoofInventors Top 100 Universities Lists 🦾

Congrats to Brayden Davis, Corine Drabenstott, Abel Abraham, and Muslkan Aslam for recognition by the @NSF the societal impact of their scientific research. For more info about their awards and the NSF fellowship program please visit: go.ncsu.edu/7sa3fiu

Congrats to our graduate student services manager Vilma Berg, recipient of the 2025 Excellence in Graduate Student Services Award for her work with @UNC_SOM. Vilma’s compassion for her students is unparalleled -- we are grateful for all the work that she does to support our dept!

Congratulations Alexia Cash, graduate research assistant, who will be a member of the next Genetic Engineering and Society fellowship cohort. Her research investigates how to use small electrical pulses to penetrate cell membranes and allow molecules through the membrane.

Following their @ACC_InVenture competition, BME student startup, Scyntek, earned the grand prize at VenturePack @NCStateENT, along with 1st place at the Joan & Chester Luby Pitch Competition @innovateubc. Congrats to the team on their successful entrepreneurship journey! 🥳
