Mission Statement
The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is dedicated to enriching the undergraduate experience for those in the Department of Bioengineering and for those interested in Biomedical Engineering by fostering personal growth and professional development. For the 2022-2023 academic year, we strive to actively listen and respond to student concerns and ideas by establishing open channels of communication in order to provide resources for anyone interested in bioengineering.
Weekly Study Social
Mondays 3pm - 5pm
Join us this week for boba at this week's BMES Weekly Study Social! Every week on Monday's from 3-5pm (except W4 + 9), we'll be providing snacks to fuel your study sessions.

Committees
Lab Expo
Weekly Meetings
Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:30 PM
Lab Expo is an annual research exposition aimed towards exposing undergraduates to the diverse and thriving research community at UCSD and enriching the community as a whole. Lab Expo's mission is three-fold: develop scientific literacy, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and encourage scientific advocacy.
Outreach
Weekly Meetings
Tuesdays from 6:00 to 7:00 PM
The goal of our Outreach Committee is to not only introduce bioengineering to the upcoming generation of K-12 students, but also to give back to the local San Diego community. Join us in our journey to reach out to people who need our help, and to initiate the passions for science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the younger crowd!
Translational Medicine Day
Weekly Meetings
Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:00 PM
Translational Medicine is a new discipline in biomedical research that aims to expedite the discovery of new diagnostic tools and treatments by using a multidisciplinary, highly collaborative, "bench-to-bedside" approach. Our Translational Medicine Day committee hopes to showcase this amazing field by planning the annual Translational Medicine Day event!
Bioengineering Day
Weekly Meetings
Tuesdays from 7:00 to 8:00 PM
Bioengineering Day gives seniors the chance to showcase their project, gives speakers the ability to share insights into their respective fields, gives UC San Diego student teams the chance to test their smarts at the annual Quiz Bowl, ands more! With this cherished tradition, BMES works to create a day dedicated to the field of Bioengineering.
Project Team
Weekly Meetings
Mondays from 6:30 to 7:30 PM
The Project Team Committee is dedicated to the Biomedical Research and Competition sector of our organization. Every year, we hope to give undergraduate studnets the ability to attain hands-on experience with laboratory techniques in academic departments ranging from Mechanical to Bioengineering to the UC San Diego Medical School. Additionally we hope to get people involved in research by providing exciting projects developed by partnering faculty!
New Student Committee
Weekly Meetings
Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:00 PM
The new student committee for both freshman and new transfers is a social instrument to introduce students to BMES and UCSD's Bioengineering program via social outings and through planning of the Bioengineering Experience, an event that outlines the fields and opportunities that the tracks in UCSD Bioengineering can offer. But primarily, we are here to give new students the confidence and resources to succeed at UCSD and beyond.
