im currently a junior in high school and im in search of some extracurriculars i can do before applying to colleges. im a little late, i know, but as of right now im looking for an internship i can do over the summer. im applying to volunteer at a hospital for some healthcare experience in hopes that it can give me some ground for an internship. im very interested and passionate about biomedical engineering, but im not so sure about where to start

Im a BME undergrad student. wanted to know any independent project ideas that would help me get research opportunities. end goal for me is to get a phd.

context: I got my associates and i transfered to a 4 year now so credit wise i'm a junior. the cc i went to didnt have any bio/biomedical engineering related research so i want to jazz up my resume with some projects. any ideas are welcome.... preferably something that isnt super expensive.

Mosquitoes 'could' be the perfect system to bacterial and viral immunity in humans and animals.

Essentially what doesn't work is that mosquitoes, by evolution are built to survive, and that means sucking blood no matter what.

Instead, if they were designed to suck blood, use that blood to perform certain experiments while in their system, wether to check immunity or other stuff, and then decide to to bite the person again or to just sit out and die based on the experiment result, then we could have mosquitoes increasing out immunity to microbes.

Hey Everyone,

I am a final year BEng (might do Meng) Biomedical Engineering student in the UK.

Recently, I have been interested in the field of global health and love to be a biomedical engineer in that field.

Only issue is that I am unsure how exactly I can break into that field.

Do my fellow biomedical engineers know how to get my foot into that career path or know anyone who does?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone, I’m a researcher working on biomedical imaging and AI. I’ve coauthored papers in Medical Physics and IEEE Computer, had research accepted for presentation at a MICCAI workshop, and am a co-inventor on patent applications. My work has included 3D reconstruction, image registration, segmentation, model training, and experimental evaluation.

Would anyone with relevant biomedical-imaging research experience be interested in taking some time to assess my work and, if they feel it merits their support, writing a brief supporting letter based on your independent assessment of my research? I would especially value an assessment of the technical contribution and its significance for image-guided medical technology.

I can share the research and a concise summary of my individual contributions privately. The letter would reflect your own conclusions. I’m happy to answer general questions here about the scope and review process. Thank you for considering it.

hey guys i graduated in 2025 and I'm still looking for a job as a medical engineer and wherever i go they want experience how tf do i get it is there any good price courses online that can help me get started with this career.

Hi team, I know this may seem early to some, but I am currently a junior in highschool right now, thinking of majoring in BioMed Engineering, or at least that's what i thought

After exploring multiple sources, many sources have told me that biomed engineering is not a good major to make money in or gain good job opportunities in because it is a "jack of all trades, master of nonee'. People have been saying that employers would rather have a ME major or a EE major over a BME major, and now I'm lost...

My initial plan was to undergrad in biomed engineering, and then in college, decide if I want to go to med school after that, or if I want to pursue a job in biotech.

Here are my issues/desires/wants?:

1. I want gooooood money, as in at least 300K per year in whatever profession I choose

2. I want a family, wanna get married by like 27-30, maybe kids by 30-33 (my current partner is a comp engineering or comp sci major, so he will be making big bucks quicker, he also wants a timeline of this sort)

3. I don't want to work a 9 to 5 desk job, there has to be interaction with other individuals and moving around, I simply cannot handle sitting at a desk for 8 hours every day

Do you guys have any specific thoughts or guidance on this? Med school? Biotech? What are your guys' experience with employment and whats something you wish you wouldve known coming into this major?

I appreciate a lot, thank you guys

Hi everyone, I'm a senior studying Biomedical Engineering and I graduate in June 2027. I'm not pursuing a graduate degree right away, so I'll lose my student status after graduation.

I want to apply for summer 2027 internships, mostly at medical device or Pharma companies, but many of them ask for my graduation date and require at least one semester left after the internship. By the time these internships start, I'll have already graduated, so I don't qualify on paper.

To make things more complicated, many entry-level full-time positions ask for 1–2 years of experience. I'm worried I'll be stuck between not qualifying for internships because of my graduation date and being underqualified for full-time roles.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did you still apply for internships as a graduating senior, and did the company care that you weren't returning to school? Or should I focus only on new-grad full-time roles? Any advice on how to navigate this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Title. Just want a reality check

Hey everyone, I need some career advice. I’m on track to finish my bioengineering degree, but I’ll be 37 when I graduate.

My goal is to get into bioprocess engineering at a major pharma company. However, I’m having some second thoughts. It feels a bit weird picturing myself as a junior engineer taking directions from a 30-year-old senior.For me no problem at all , but companies would tend to avoid hiring me ???

Is it worth pushing through at this age? Do multinational pharma companies care about age for entry-level roles, or is it strictly about skills? Any insight or reality checks would be greatly appreciated!

reality check doesn't mean the end of the world , for example im now in a path that wwould allow me to validate my path into pharmD , i know for example that as a pharmacist , age would not matter so much and at the end of the road , even at 60s if im in good shape i could have my own pharmacy , it is what it is , reality check doesn't mean it's the end.

I'll age anyways

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here's all I know about this agreement:

Edwards Lifesciences was accused of misleading investors about the growth prospects of its TAVR platform and failing to disclose competitive pressures from newer heart treatments. On July 24, 2024, the company lowered its full-year TAVR revenue forecast, and $EW fell more than 31%. Investors then filed a lawsuit over their losses.

Now the company has agreed to settle the case for $39 million.

Who can claim this settlement?
If you purchased or acquired $EW common stock in 2024, and suffered losses, you may be eligible.

Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?
Eligibility depends on your transactions and whether you meet the settlement requirements. You don’t necessarily need to still own the shares.

How long does the payout process take?
It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

When is the deadline? 
The deadline to submit a claim is December 2, 2026. Check if you're eligible and file a claim here

Hope this info helps

I know that these two majors aren't even really comparable but I can see myself studying both. I want to do some kind of research in the future, whether in a lab or at a desk. I'm leaning Microbio as I'm more of a science than math kinda guy but I'm afraid a BS in Microbio won't make me too employable as I'm not currently planning to go to med school. What do yall think?
