The goal of the BME Summer Workshops @ Michigan series is to establish the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor as a place to gather, learn, and network – each summer – on important research topics in BME.

These workshops will provide a collaborative forum to present current research progress and discuss future research opportunities at the interface of engineering and medicine.

"Metabolism & Precision Health: A Biomedical Engineering Workshop," an interdisciplinary workshop on metabolism and precision medicine, is scheduled for July 25-26, Thursday from 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Friday, from 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., in the NCRC Building 18 Dining Hall. It is co-sponsored by BME, Precision Health, the Michigan George M. O’Brien Kidney National Resource Center and the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Nephrology.

--Nathan Price, Chief Scientific Officer of Thorne HealthTech
--Marian Walhout, Professor and Chair, Department of Systems Biology, Maroun Semaan Chair in Biomedical Research, UMass Chan Medical School
