BME Celebrates Class of 2020

May 26, 2020

The University of Texas at Austin granted 127 bachelor's degrees, 11 master's degrees, and 18 doctoral degrees in biomedical engineering. Additionally, for the first time, the university granted five integrated bachelor's and master's degrees in biomedical engineering. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented an in-person celebration. However the Cockrell School of Engineering honored graduates with celebratory videos from faculty, staff, and alumni, and a virtual commencement ceremony.

Answering Key COVID-19 Questions: New Research Tackles Increased Risk Among the Elderly and Whether Virus Will Slow This Summer

April 16, 2020

Sapun Parekh, an assistant professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, is setting up a pair of coronavirus experiments. One tests how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, will behave at different temperatures to know if the summer heat may slow the virus; and another looks at the physiological changes in lungs as people age to try and explain the increased vulnerability among elderly populations.
