Tissue Engineering of the Nervous System: Approaches and Strategies for the Repair of Peripheral and Spinal Cord Injuries
The work of Rehabilitation Engineering Center and the Department of Biomedical Engineering is generously supported by a gift from the Malcolm Morse Foundation.
BME Graduate students presented their latest research at the Society for Neuroscience (SFN) annual meeting, held in Washington, DC November 15-19.
State of the Science Workshop on Pediatric Rehabilitation, Engineering
BME's Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) on Technology for Children with Orthopedic Disabilities conducted a State of the Science Workshop on Pediatric Rehabilitation Engineering on October 16 and 17, 2008. The goal for the Workshop was to bring together some of the brightest minds in basic and applied research to discuss how emerging knowledge in neuroscience, medicine, and engineering can define and sustain current and future pediatric rehabilitation engineering. This RERC is one of 22 centers funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, part of the U.S. Department of Education.

Student Yelda Alkan wins first place at 34th annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference
Yelda Alkan won first place in the 34th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference student paper competition for her paper entitled "Cortical Location of Saccadic and Vergence Oculomotor Learning Revealed using fMRI." The paper was based on her collaborative research with co-advisor, Bharat Biswal, associate professor of radiology at UMDNJ and her advisor, Tara Alvarez, associate professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT. The conference, held April 4 through 6, 2008 at Brown University, was sponsored by the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS).
