BME Undergraduates Conduct Research through CU SPUR
Biomedical Engineering (BME) undergraduates finishing 10 weeks of research in campus labs shared their findings this week as participants of the 2023 Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR).
Ella Erich -CU SPUR participant in the lab of Dr Mark Borden
Students Nidhi Ramachandra and Chrisanna Bertuccio worked in the lab of Dr. Corey Neu studying the Granular ECM Bioink Development for 3D Bioprinting. Ella Erich studied Exoskeletal Drops for Therapeutic Radiation In Vivo Mapping and Dosing in Dr. Mark Borden’s lab. Sacha Ramirez studied Biomechanics for Women's Reproductive Health with Dr. Virginia Ferguson. While Hayden Tomazin worked on Directing the Assembly of Mosaic Tiles and Microbots in Magnetic Fields in Dr. Wyatt Shields lab and James McIntyre studied Wrist Exoskeleton as Prosthesis Interface with Radial/Ulnar Deviation Torque in the lab of Dr. Cera Welker.
CU SPUR is open to all students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science and pairs undergraduate researchers with graduate student and faculty mentors on a variety of topics. CU SPUR is just one of the research programs available to students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, other programs include the Discovery Learning Apprenticeship Program (DLA) and YOU’RE@CU (Your Own Undergraduate Research Experience at CU).
The BME Program encourages it students to participate in a range of experiential learning opportunities, including research, during their tenure with CU.
