About Us

The BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai focuses on the use of multimodality imaging for brain, heart, and cancer research, along with research in nanomedicine for precision imaging and drug delivery. Our team conducts cutting edge research and serves as a research catalyst for a new generation of translational and molecular imaging methodologies to advance human health.

 

Now in its 12th  year, the BMEII Symposium highlights the multidisciplinary nature of our institute and facilitates exchanges between innovators across the globe in the areas of biomedical imaging, nanomedicine, artificial intelligence, and wearable technology.

Call for Abstracts 

In order to submit an abstract, you must register for the event. You will need to provide the 10 digit code of your ticket. Please use the provided abstract and submission form below. This year will, abstracts will be considered for oral or poster presentation as well as Innovation Station.

Deadline: February 2, 11:59pm ET

What is Innovation Station?

If your work is clinical or translational, but centered on the use or application of a novel device (e.g. coil, phantom, peripheral device for neuropsychiatric testing, wearable telemedicine device, implant or prosthetic) or method (e.g. image analysis pipeline) that is easily demonstrated within the confines of a small research exhibition, please consider entering your device or method in the Innovation Station competition.
You will have the opportunity to provide a hands-on demonstration of your device or method to the symposium audience, in addition to presenting your work as an oral or poster presentation. For limitations on the size of Innovation Station exhibits, please see the Innovation Station entry form, below. If your work is focused on technical innovation, but you have had limited opportunities to test your device/method, please submit your initial results to the Innovation Station exhibit.
For an Innovation Station submission, you will draft an abstract showing the scientific basis and potential utility of your technical innovation to research and clinical work, and scientifically sound proof-of-principle results (e.g. computer simulations, pilot data in phantoms, ex-vivo samples, animals, healthy volunteers or patients) showing that your innovation works as intended. A sample size of n=1 should not discourage you from submitting your work, if the results are convincing! Please provide details on future studies in which you plan to further test, refine and validate your innovation.
