12th US-Korea Biomedical Engineering Workshop

Session Title for Website and App: 12th US-Korea Biomedical Engineering Workshop

Special Session Program Description: The goal of the 12th Annual US-Korea Joint BMES Workshop is to promote cooperation, collaboration, and networking between the Korean Society of Medical and Biological Engineering (KOSOMBE) and BMES members. In the past ten years, this annual Workshop has become increasingly well-known among biomedical engineers in both the US and Korea, attracting >~120 PIs and trainees from both countries as part of the Annual BMES meeting. The workshop covers topics on various convergent technologies to better understand and improve human health via different approaches in multi-disciplines. The number of PI's and trainees of Korean-American and Korean members attending the Annual BMES workshop continues to increase (~100-130 members in the past 10 years). Many KOSOMBE and Korean BMES members come to BMES because of the added value of the Workshop. With such a proven track record of success over the past ten years, we are confident that this workshop has become a bridge for a long-term relationship and brought mutual benefits for both Society members. We have had a fruitful and exciting workshop where the leaders of BMES and Korean and Korean-American biomedical engineers gathered to discuss exciting advancements and technological development. This networking opportunity among the leaders, emerging leaders, and trainees will spur further collaborations that would benefit both members of BMES and KOSOMBE.
