Having some knowledge of this structure ahead of time will help you select and approach classes in ways more likely to have you end up where you want to be.Fortunately\, the UW-Madison also has many opportunities that let you “try on” an industrial career ahead of time. These opportunities vary in duration from hours to months. As you start to invest in these channels\, you will be more likely to benefit from the serendipity that the breath of expertise present at UW-Madison naturally provides.This seminar will feature three individuals in a conversational format who will discuss how they used these channels to supplement their coursework and research to build industrial success. While all three of these individuals eventually earned PhDs\, the topics and approaches discussed are equally applicable to MS students. \n\n\n\nSpeakers (L to R):Professor Chris Brace\, PhD; UW BME Vice Chair; Co-founder\, NeuWave MedicalJustin Koepsel\, PhD\, MBA; UW BME MS’08\, PhD’12; Senior Director of Commercial Operations at Catalent BiologicsTom Lilieholm\, PhD’24; Co-founder and Director of Neuroimaging ImgGyd \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-2/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251008T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251011T143000 DTSTAMP:20260409T090045 CREATED:20250829T182531Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250829T183317Z UID:10001307-1759946400-1760193000@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting DESCRIPTION:We will be at booth 503 at the 2025 BMES Annual Meeting in San Diego\, California. \n\n\n\nExhibitor Hours: \n\n\n\n\nOctober 8: 6-7:30pm\n\n\n\nOctober 9: 8-11am and 12:15-4:30pm\n\n\n\nOctober 10: 8-11am and 12:15-4:30pm\n\n\n\nOctober 11: 10am-2:30pm URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/biomedical-engineering-society-annual-meeting-2/ LOCATION:San Diego Convention Center\, 11 Harbor Dr\, San Diego\, California\, 92101\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/BMES-Event-Image.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251011T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251011T235959 DTSTAMP:20260409T090045 CREATED:20250829T163033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250829T163035Z UID:10001305-1760140800-1760227199@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:College of Engineering Alumni Tailgate DESCRIPTION:U-Rah-Rah\, It’s Back—and This Year\, We’re Welcoming Dean Ranjan Home! \n\n\n\nThe College of Engineering Alumni Tailgate returns for UW Homecoming 2025—now with an extra reason to celebrate. \n\n\n\nJoin us in welcoming Dean Devesh Ranjan (MS ’05\, PhD ’07) back to Madison for his first Homecoming as Dean of the College of Engineering.

My lab develops engineered “tumor-on-a-chip” systems to reconstruct the 3D tumor microenvironment and dissect how cell-cell interactions\, fluid flow\, and interfacial mechanics influence early metastatic events. In this talk\, I will first introduce our approach for the rapid and accessible fabrication of organ-on-a-chip devices using epoxy-coated 3D printed molds. This workflow enables the generation of high-fidelity\, biocompatible PDMS-based devices in a scalable\, reproducible\, and imaging-compatible format. I will then discuss how we are leveraging this technology to reverse-engineer solid breast tumors composed of heterogeneous cancer cell and immune cell subpopulations\, including macrophages\, to model how tumor-immune interactions shape cell plasticity and collective invasion. Finally\, I will present our novel peritoneal cavity-on-a-chip\, designed to mimic the primary route of ovarian cancer spread. In this model\, individual ovarian cancer cells and clusters can be injected into fluid-filled peritoneal cavities to emulate circulating tumor cells that shed from the ovary during disease progression. Using live-cell imaging\, we examine how these cells interact with\, and infiltrate\, the surrounding mesothelium to initiate metastatic colonization. Together\, these approaches establish versatile experimental platforms to study dynamic cell and tissue-level behaviors\, providing new strategies to model\, predict\, and ultimately control metastatic progression. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-susan-leggett-phd/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251027T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251027T130000 DTSTAMP:20260409T090045 CREATED:20250827T171128Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251013T212823Z UID:10001295-1761566400-1761570000@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:BME Seminar Series: Keefe Manning\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Predicting Thrombus Formation\, Deformation\, and Embolization: A Look at Devices\, Stroke\, and Deep Vein Thrombosis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeefe Manning\, PhDProfessor of Biomedical Engineering and SurgeryDepartment of Biomedical EngineeringPennsylvania State University \n\n\n\nAbstract:Thrombosis remains a significant clinical issue manifesting in heart attacks and strokes but also challenges the success of cardiovascular devices. Given the complex process associated with thrombosis\, developing accurate computational models is difficult as validation needs to occur over a range of flow and surface interactions and at different temporal and spatial scales. Thrombi are particularly interesting because of their inherent heterogeneity. Leveraging canonical experiments that acquire a breadth of data will be crucial to validate any computational model\, but do these experiments accurately represent how thrombi form\, deform\, and embolize in the context of devices\, stroke\, and deep vein thrombosis? This presentation will cover the development and experimental validation of our computational models in these areas and the complications posed with blood experiments. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-keefe-manning-phd/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
