Another major milestone for BIC alumnus Beta Bionics and its iLet device for people with type 1 diabetes that was born in engineer Ed Damiano’s lab
The manufacturing technique known as 3D printing, now being used everywhere, from aircraft manufacturers to public libraries, has never been more affordable or accessible. Biomedical engineering has particularly benefited from 3D printing as prosthetic devices can be produced and tested more rapidly than ever before. However, 3D printing still faces challenges when printing living tissues, […]
The SPIE-Boston University Scholarship in Photonics will support graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the university’s Photonics Center
Be sure to look through the amazing work of our Photonics Center faculty, staff, students, and BIC tenants this past fiscal year!
Organoids are a growing trend in biomedical research fields internationally––but what are they? As the name suggests, it’s a simplified model of an organ made up of cells, studied both in vitro (outside a living organism) and in vivo (inside a living organism) to enhance the understanding and treatment of organ-related diseases and disorders. Their pathology, phenotype, and––in the future––repair, […]

Co-sponsored by BU Photonics Center, BU Gear Up, and Brown Rudnick Charitable Foundation, the luncheon was attended by fifty female students from EBHS. A keynote talk by Professor Marcia […]
This annual report summarizes activities of the Photonics Center for the 2022-2023 academic year.
By Danny Giancioppo Last month, NASA released a report detailing their newly branded UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) Independent Study team, which includes Boston University’s own Joshua Semeter, ECE professor in the College of Engineering. The team hopes to shed light on the ever-elusive, often-mischaracterized method of research, in no small part by doing away with […]
Yesterday marked the inaugural Boston Photonics Day event, hosted by the SPIE/OPTICA Student Chapter at the Boston University Photonics Center, with support from the Photonics Center. The event set out to not only inform the next generation of photonics professionals, but nurture them, creating a community through which industry developments and opportunities might flourish. Following […]
