Hello all, for an assignment I have to perform a literature search and present recent advances in leukodepletion/leukoreduction techniques. Could anyone suggest me where I can find more info? Is there on the market something really innovative, apart from standard blood filters? Your recommendations would be appreciated, thank you. submitted by /u/91chatPTi [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Is it true that in episomal vectors for gene delivery, scientists can use the episomes from yeasts to deliver a large piece of gene that can be millions of base pairs long into the cell nucleus, and those episomes can transfect non-dividing cells such as neuron? Does it mean that unlike plasmids, the episomes don't need to rely on the breakdown of the nuclear membrane during cell proliferation to get into the nucleus? If so, do episomes enter the nucleus through the pores on the nuclear membrane? If they have millions of bases pairs, how could they possibly fit into those pores that are extre ..read more

I’m currently a sophomore Bioe major and im not sure if it’s for me. I really enjoy science specifically biology but I feel like I’m struggling more than other students are. I don’t think I’d be able to do hard school for engineering as the two years. I’ve experienced have been taxing enough and after I get a degree I wouldn’t want to look back. That being said according to my schools stat only abt 40 percent of students go into industry with a bachelors. I don’t want to be stuck doing lab stuff for the rest of my life. I want to be happy. All the big stuff I find cool is all for the big leag ..read more

I'm a high school student and I'm nearing the end of my course selection for senior year. My choices are between AP Physics 2 and AP Chem. I feel like chem would be better for bioengineering but I don't really like it (I took honors chem and it just didn't click with me). On the other hand, I like physics more but I feel like its relevance in bioengineering is not as great. There's also the fact that my coursework would have some effect in college admissions but that isn't the main reason for my conflict. Any advice? submitted by /u/Boring_Business1567 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

hi, i’m about to graduate hs and i’m thinking about studying biomedical engineering. I’m mostly interested in the drug development area and i’ve been wondering if bioengineering will give me a solid background or is, for example, pharmaceutical science better submitted by /u/Outside-Solution222 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am currently a junior working towards my BS in biomedical engineering. I have been struggling to find an internship, and also struggling to find a job I would be interested in. I chose this major because I thought it would be a good mix between the medical field and engineering (however I see that is not really the case). I was wondering if anyone knows of any certificates or jobs/internships I could get that would further push me into the medical field (without having to go to med school)? submitted by /u/qb-now [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I got into a few BME programs and one college is not ABET accredited. For BME does it matter if its not abet accredited? submitted by /u/RLBOMBER [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

From your experience in the field what college would be best for Biomed/bio engineering. I got into Santa Clara university (SCU) Northeastern University and Virginia tech all for bioengineering. 40k a year- Obviously SCU is the lowest, but its the cheapest and its in the bay area so that will help with networking 80k a year- northeastern has a great co op program which almost guarantees an internship and allows me to do dual majors with mech e, chem e, or biochem. 55k a year- Virginia tech is kinda in the middle of nowhere so networking might be hard, but it is a well known engineering school ..read more
