A team led by Bioengineering Department Head Mark Anastasio received a $1.7 million NIH grant for for a project that will estimate the optimal task performance of medical imaging systems. Learn more here! bioengineering.illinois.edu/news/imaging-s…

🔶 To all the new Bioengineering, CS + BIOE, and Neural Engineering majors out there who've just heard the good news: congrats! We hope you’re ready to join the best university family there is. You belong here. 🔷 blog.admissions.illinois.edu/10-reasons-why…

We are looking for a postdoc to join my lab at UIUC Bioengineering. If you are interested in AAV, spatial transcriptomics, neuroscience, etc, please apply.

🎉 Join us in welcoming new faculty member Professor Min Jee Jang to the BIOE department! To get to know Professor Jang a little better, we asked her a few questions about her work and what makes bioengineering important to her. Read the interview here: bioengineering.illinois.edu/news/QA-Min-Je…

Delivering and expressing a gene in cells is usually a messy (heterogeneous) process. The messiness interferes with research and applications such as gene therapy. In two new papers, we introduce a toolbox of synthetic miRNA-based control circuits that enable more precise, gene

What an amazing first semester as a #newpi! We’ve got the lab running finally and are waiting for graduate students to come this Fall. These undergrads are the heroes who bravely joined the lab with nothing and made it work. Thank you all and let’s have more fun in the Fall!

Big achievement🥳 not surprising though - we, the dept as a whole, are together with full of enthusiasm and support not only for innovative research but also for inclusive education for next-generation bioengineers across all disciplines. So grateful to be part of Illinois BIOE

Can’t be more excited than this! Viviana is not only a leading scientist in the field but also such a great mentor. I am truly grateful for her mentorship which is still ongoing. Huge congratulations Viviana! 👏👏👏

20th anniversary of Illinois BIOE 🎉🥳Such a thoughtful gift with my name tag
