Congratulations to all our Biomedical Engineering students who graduated recently! We are very proud of you all @Bio_Eng_NUIG and wish you every success in your future endeavours!

[Biomedical Engineering University of Galway @Bio_Eng_NUIG]

Many thanks to Medtronic for sponsoring this generous scholarship to support a student from a minority group to study Biomedical or Mechanical Engineering @nuigalway @Medtronic

[BioMEC @bio_mec]

Congratulations Niamh!

[Niamh Ward @NiamhAWard]

It was a honour to receive the Medtronic Prize in Biomedical Engineering yesterday for being the first placed graduate in the NUIG Biomedical Engineering class of 2020! Great to have something to celebrate during these times, and even better to have an excuse for cake!

[GIBBON @GibbonToolbox]

If we hosted free biweekly summerschool sessions this summer, to train you from novice @GibbonToolbox user, up to GIBBON developer, would you attend? We'd have "bring your own data" sessions and we'll help you target your research application. Great for PhD students/post-docs!

[BioMEC @bio_mec]

Congratulations Anneke Verbruggen @tyrannekesaurus !

[Anneke Verbruggen PhD @tyrannekesaurus]

I'm so thrilled with this result at #ORS2021! Couldn't have done it without the fantastic help and guidance from @LaoiseMcnamara and the whole @mechanobio_ie team!
