UNM Executive Vice Chancellor to Speak at Biomedical Engineering Seminar

The UNM Cen­ter for Bio­med­ical Engi­neer­ing is ini­ti­at­ing a reg­u­lar series of bio­med­ical engi­neer­ing sem­i­nars on Wednes­days at 4 p.m. in the Cen­ten­nial Engi­neer­ing Cen­ter Audi­to­rium (Room 1041). The first speaker on Wednes­day, Aug. 29 will be Pro­fes­sor Richard S. Lar­son, exec­u­tive vice chan­cel­lor and vice chan­cel­lor for Research at UNM’s Health Sci­ence Center.

Orga­niz­ers say the sem­i­nar series will fea­ture a mix of inter­nal and exter­nal speak­ers cov­er­ing a range of bio­med­ical topics. One of their goals is to help build a broad inter­ac­tive com­mu­nity of researchers inter­ested in bio­med­ical engi­neer­ing top­ics. Lar­son will dis­cuss oppor­tu­ni­ties for pro­duc­tive col­lab­o­ra­tive activ­i­ties involv­ing the Health Sci­ences Cen­ter and the School of Engineering.

Lar­son will pro­vide a sum­mary of the research enter­prise at the UNM Health Sci­ences Cen­ter, and dis­cuss cur­rent col­lab­o­ra­tions between the School of Engi­neer­ing and the Health Sci­ences Cen­ter. There will also be exam­ples of suc­cess­ful ways that fac­ulty have ini­ti­ated col­lab­o­ra­tions that have led to extra­mural fund­ing. Fol­low­ing the pre­sen­ta­tion, there will be ample time for dis­cus­sion and ques­tions about col­lab­o­ra­tive opportunities.

The sem­i­nar is free and open to all. For more infor­ma­tion and park­ing, visit: UNM Cen­ter for Bio­med­ical Engi­neer­ing. This sem­i­nar is spon­sored by the UNM Cen­ter for Bio­med­ical Engineering.
