Symposium Goal

The goal of the Symposium is to bring together the bioengineering faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and students from the ten UC campuses and biotechnology industry experts to exchange research findings, establish collaborations, and develop and accelerate the deployment of biomedical technologies to improve the detection, treatment, and prevention of disease and to enhance human health.

The Bioengineering Institute of California (BIC) Symposium is the forum for presenting the Shu-Chien Early Career Award for outstanding achievements by early career researchers in bioengineering. Each UC campus delegation nominates one candidate, and the candidates give a talk during dedicated sessions at the BIC symposium. These presentations highlight some of the newest and most exciting research areas in bioengineering.

Symposium History

The University of California (UC) System-wide Bioengineering Symposium is organized by the Bioengineering Institute of California (BIC) which is a UC multi-campus Research Unit that synergizes the bioengineering research activities among the ten UC campuses. The BIC Symposia have been held annually since 2000, rotating among the campuses. 

Organizing Committee

Organizing Committee Department Chair

Adam j. engler , ph.d.  .

Adam J. Engler is the Department Chair and Professor of The Shu Chien-Gene Lay Department of Bioengineering at UC San Diego. He is also a Resident Scientist at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Engler’s research focuses on how physical and chemical properties of the niche influence or misregulates cell function and modifies genetic mechanisms of disease. In particular, his lab studies the phenomenon in the context of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases and cancer. To accomplish this, his lab makes natural and synthetic matrices with unique spatiotemporal properties to mimic niche conditions, improve stem cell behavior and commitment in vitro, or direct them for therapeutic use in vivo.

Organizing Committee & Scientific Program Chair

Daniela valdez-jasso, ph.d.  .

Dr. Valdez-Jasso’s laboratory uses applied mathematics and systems biology, tissue physiology, biomechanics, and cell biology to study the multiscale, sex-dependent pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension, a life-threatening disease that is two to four times more prevalent in women than men. Dr. Valdez-Jasso serves as Diversity Coordinator for two NIH predoctoral training grants. She is active in the American Heart Association, and the American Thoracic and Biomedical Engineering societies. In 2019, she was on the organizing committee of Summer Biomechanics, Biotransport and Bioengineering meeting, and for the past three years, she has served as the Diversity Chair for the Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering.

Scientific Program C ommittee

Brian aguado , ph.d..

Dr. Aguado’s laboratory research is focused on studying sex differences in cardiovascular disease using biomaterials and tissue engineering approaches, specifically how sex chromosome biology gives rise to sex differences in valve and cardiac fibrosis at multiple length scales (molecular to organism). Dr. Aguado has chaired or co-chaired multiple conferences, most recently including the annual LatinXinBME Symposium, the Gordon Research Seminar in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, the Society for Biomaterials annual “Black and LatinX Voices in Biomaterials Research” sessions, the Virtual Seminars in Biomedical Science seminar series, and dozens of scientific sessions for the Society for Biomaterials, the Biomedical Engineering Society, the Society for Advancing Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science, and Gordon Research Conferences.

Marianna Alperin , Ph.D.

The Alperin Lab's purpose is to discover scientifically rational treatments and prevention strategies for women’s health, with special focus on pelvic soft tissues. Her lab uses a multi-pronged approach, including computational modeling, in vitro and in vivo experimental models, cadaveric tissues, and biospecimens from living women, to study the impact of pregnancy, birth injury, radiation, menopause, and aging on the structure and function of pelvic soft tissues. In collaboration with engineering experts, Dr. Alperin also investigates the mechanics of pelvic soft tissues and the role of acellular pro-regenerative biomaterials in women’s health. Dr. Alperin has extensive experience organizing various conferences, including basic science days at the national and international conferences, educational workshops, scientific symposia, discussion and expert panels, and mock NIH study sections.

Chair of Industry Showcase

Sakya tripathy, ph.d. .

Dr. Tripathy's primary focus is understanding the performance and durability of cardiovascular devices and how they interact with anatomy in-vivo. He has been in this role for close to seven years. Prior to Edwards Lifesciences, he was with Simulia Corporation for 7 years where he held multiple roles including technical lead in the sales and marketing teams. He has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Virginia where he focused on the mechanical properties of cartilage at different length scales. Over the years, he has been an active participant in multiple technical meetings like Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the Society of Experimental Mechanics (SEM) among others.
