The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering is celebrating four faculty members who received U.S. patents in July for innovations that address challenges in healthcare, agriculture and advanced sensing technologies.

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering graduate student Ibtsaam Qadir has received a $10,000 Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSCCC) Trainee Pilot Grant to support research exploring how artificial intelligence can help radiologists detect pancreatic cancer earlier and improve patient care.

For eight weeks this summer, five high school students traded textbooks for lab benches as they joined Purdue University's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering for the 2026 High School Summer Research Internship. Launched in 2023, the experiential learning program introduces students to the growing field of biomedical engineering while providing hands-on research experience and a glimpse into how the discipline is shaping the future of patient care.

The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering is pleased to welcome David C. Gross, PhD, PE, as an adjunct faculty member.

Lindsey Laine has taken advantage of close connection opportunities in Indianapolis with leaders from some of the largest companies in the medical and healthcare industries.

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering graduate student Shen Chang received a National Science Foundation (NSF) fellowship to attend the 23rd International Summer Leadership Academy on Bio-X: AI in Healthcare, Medicine and Biology in Greece.

$160 million grant award will fuel the creation of a major musculoskeletal research hub in the state of Indiana

The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering is proud to recognize seven staff members who have received Purdue University's Bravo+ Award, which honors employees whose outstanding accomplishments advance the university through innovation, operational excellence, fiscal stewardship and service.

“I love helping students understand their superpowers,” says Miller, associate professor of engineering practice in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (BME) and assistant vice provost in Indianapolis. “I think each student has a super strength — and sometimes they don’t know what it is. I get to discover what that is in my conversations and work with students. Figuring out what aspects of themselves they can lean on makes them better people.”

Research co-authored by Juan Wachs, James H. and Barbara H. Greene Professor of Industrial Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, has been recognized by one of the world's leading surgical journals for its potential to improve burn care.
