The IEEE EMBS UPRM is preparing to celebrate the second edition of the BioX Symposium on Engineering in Medicine and Biology. It will take place on Friday, March 31, 2023 at the premises of the Carlos E. Chardón Building and the Luis A. Stéfani Building on the Mayagüez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. To this end, we invite undergraduate students conducting research in bioengineering and sub-disciplines to submit "abstracts" to participate in this symposium.

With enthusiasm and in advance of the second edition of the "BioX Symposium", we highlight our keynote speaker, Dr. Michelle Visbal Onufrak, "Senior Process Engineer" at Medtronic. Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering and PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Purdue University, we are very grateful to have the expertise of Dr. Visbal Onufrak for our activity.
