Prof. Dawn Kilkenny is a teaching stream faculty member at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering with a background in physiology and engineering education. Her teaching emphasizes experiential learning, giving students opportunities to apply scientific and engineering concepts through hands-on laboratory, research, and outreach experiences. By leading initiatives such as the Discovery Program, Dr. Kilkenny helps students develop confidence, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of biomedical engineering and healthcare.
In this episode of BME Basics, Amy, a third-year Engineering Science student majoring in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, introduces fluorescent microscopy and demonstrates how researchers use fluorescently labelled cells to visualize targets that would otherwise be difficult to observe with a standard light microscope.
Dr. Chris Bouwmeester is a teaching stream faculty member with a background in mechanical engineering and cardiovascular physiology. His courses emphasize active learning and provide students with opportunities to apply engineering principles to real healthcare challenges through laboratory and design-based experiences. Learn more about his teaching approach in our latest faculty spotlight video.
Meet Gary Hoang, Teaching Lab and Design Studio Coordinator at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. Gary shares his path from vaccine manufacturing at Sanofi to supporting hands-on learning at U of T. He talks about the work that happens behind the scenes to help students learn, explore, and build, and why connecting industry experience with engineering education is important to him.
At the Krembil Brain Institute, Dr. Luka Milosevic is developing data-driven approaches to neuromodulation and brain stimulation that help clinicians better understand, target, and influence the brain’s complex neural circuits.
Graduate school can be challenging, especially in your first year. From understanding research to finding your place, many students struggle to adjust. The Institute of Biomedical Engineering Graduate Mentorship Program helps make that transition easier.
