The BMES Computational Biomedical Engineering (CBE) Special Interest Group promotes computational methods in biomedical engineering, fostering collaboration on modeling, simulations, data analytics, AI, and machine learning in biology and healthcare.
Special Interest Groups
Advanced Biomanufacturing
ABioM-SIG bridges academia and industry to accelerate advances in biomanufacturing. We focus on developing new technologies, fostering research collaborations, and training the next generation of leaders in this rapidly growing field.
Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering
The CMBE Special Interest Group explores the mechanisms by which physical regulation influences life. We bring together scientists, clinicians, and engineers to study these fundamental interactions. All BMES members are welcome. Don't miss our annual BMES CMBE Conference.
Computational Biomedical Engineering
Medical Devices
The Medical Devices Special Interest Group connects industry, academia, and US Food and Drug Association (FDA) professionals to advance medical device innovation. Our members include researchers, engineers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and students who collaborate to develop and improve life-changing medical technologies.
BMES Policy on Special Interest Groups
Function
The Biomedical Engineering Society has established a process for members of the Society who have an interest in forming Special Interest Groups (SIGs).
The Purpose of SIGs
-
To provide networking opportunities for the exchange of information and ideas in a specific research area.
-
To provide members with a forum to network and discuss issues relevant to this research area.
-
To provide the Society with a direct avenue to members with specific expertise
-
To provide members with an avenue for professional development within a specific research area.
If you're interested in joining one of these Special Interest Groups, please send an email to membership@bmes.org.
Forming a New Section
Members wanting to form a Special Interest Group should email John Falcioni at falcionij@bmes.org.
Please include the following:
1. Name and Membership level of requestor
2. Objective for the SIG
3. Description of the topic(s) covered by the SIG
4. Proposed activities for the SIG.
Once the application is received, a message will be sent to all BMES members to determine the level of interest in the SIG. If at least 20 BMES members declare their interest in joining the SIG, the proposal will be sent to the BMES Executive Committee for preliminary approval. The Executive Committee shall also determine whether additional dues will be required to participate in and support the activities of the SIG. Full approval to be granted by the Board of Directors.
Once preliminary approval is granted by the Executive Committee, BMES staff will create a webpage for the SIG thus allowing BMES members to join/actively participate in the SIG.
To maintain its status, the SIG’s membership (whether dues-paying or not) should never fall below 20 BMES members. The SIG must also submit a report of its activities to the Board of Directors annually.
