The BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII) is constantly striving to improve and inform. Our new series “Zooming Towards Progress” focuses on research and imaging in the age of Covid, and our Annual Symposiums bring together the brightest minds in imaging and AI to share what they’ve learned.

Zooming Towards Progress
We proudly present our video series “Zooming Towards Progress”, where the staff at BMEII discuss the latest advances in imaging and how it relates to the pandemic and other areas of study. Check back often as we post more videos in the coming weeks.
