BME Student Fellowship
The BME Student Fellowship is aimed to fund top students in our graduate programs, where 100% of the proceed will directly go to students. Your contribution will have a positive and long-lasting impact in our student’s lives. Our goal is to raise $1 million in total fund. The Institute of Biomedical Engineering will provide a 1:1 match to your donation.

U of T student team earns international prizes for leveraging AI to tackle antibiotic resistance
A U of T Engineering student team working on synthetic biology research and innovation has achieved its best results to date at the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition, with a platform to counter so-called superbugs that resist antibiotic treatment. With the support of Professors Michael Garton and Freeman Lan (both BME), the team started working with plasmids from E. coli bacteria to see if they could generate new sequences and validate their functionality, both computationally and in the wet lab.
