Conference/Seminar
The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Dr. Rebecca Gerth, Research Sales Engineer at Ripple Neuro, will present: "Going to the Dark Side - Choosing Industry".
February 3rd at 12:30 pm in ENGR 326
Over the last two decades, academic neuroscientists and engineers have dedicated their lives to developing brain-computer interfaces for the restoration of independence in amputees and paralyzed individuals. Ripple Neuro creates neural interfaces and medical devices to advance research and improve the lives of underserved patient populations. Engineers at Ripple work with academic partners, industry leaders, and clinical experts to solve the problems that still limit the translation of brain-computer interfaces. This presentation will highlight one engineer’s decision to transition to industry and the varied opportunities working for a biotech company provides.
A meet and greet with Dr. Gerth will be held immediately following the seminar in ENGR 326.

Biological Engineering Department Seminar Series
Conference/Seminar
The BE Department's Seminar Series Speaker, Dr. Tara Deans, Assistant Professor at University of Utah, will present: "Engineering Stem Cells to Create Novel Delivery Vehicles".
February 10th at 12:30 pm in ENGR 326
Synthetic biology has transformed how cells can be reprogrammed, providing a means to reliably and predictably control cell behavior with the assembly of genetic parts into more complex gene circuits. Using approaches and tools in synthetic biology, we are programming stem cells with novel genetic tools to control genes and pathways that result in changes in stem cell fate decisions, in addition to reprogramming terminally differentiated cells to function as unique therapeutic diagnostic and delivery vehicles.
A meet and greet with Dr. Deans will be held immediately following the seminar in ENGR 326.

With the intent to protect the U.S. from all espionage and sabotage from the Japanese, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive order 9066 on February 19, 1942.
Yukio Shimomura, born in San Francisco, California was in grade school when World War II started. His family and himself were incarcerated and interned to a camp in San Bruno, CA and later to the camp near Delta, Utah. Soon after they relocated to Ogden, UT where he graduated high school. Served in the U.S. Army, attended Weber State University and Utah State University where he earned a Bachelor Degree in Manufacturing Engineering.
Yukio will be share his experiences that happened to his family, before, during, and after the war in relevance to today's events.
