The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the election of Giorgio Ascoli, University Professor, in the Department of Bioengineering at ÑÇÖÞAV to its College of Fellows. Ascoli was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the AIMBE College of Fellows for outstanding contributions in the development of open-access resources for data science in the investigation of learning, memory, and neurodegeneration.

Two recent research publications authored by bioengineering professor Giorgio Ascoli appear as the cover articles in the first issue of the October edition of the scientific journal Nature.

Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to discover new initiatives from the Office of Diversity and Inclusive Learning as the College announces BLAST Off week. Blast stands for belonging, leadership, accessibility, success, and transformation all of which will be part of this week-long event.
