Congratulations to Christopher Hackney on presenting at the 2026 SURCA (Summer Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities) Symposium! 🎉
His poster, "Atherosclerosis & Coronary Artery Disease," breaks down how plaque builds up inside the arteries that supply the heart, how blockages are diagnosed with EKGs and cardiac catheterization, and how coronary artery disease is treated, from statins to bypass surgery.
Thank you to his faculty mentor, Dr. Rhonda Hazell (Physician Assistant Studies), for her guidance.

💼 Internship Highlight!

Meet Sadie Schaffer, a junior Biomedical Engineering student who spent her summer internship as an R&D Pump Development Intern at B. Braun Medical.

From testing an IV compounding machine to creating agents that automate parts of the medical device lifecycle, she learned a lot about AI and statistical analysis along the way.

We’re proud to highlight her experience and the work she’s doing in BME! 💙💛
Swipe through to learn more about what she worked on, her favorite part of the internship, and her advice for students looking for their next opportunity.

Congratulations to Jah-Vanah Francis and Shaina Garcia on presenting at the 2026 SURCA (Summer Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities) Symposium! 🎉
Their project, "Investigating the Effects of Aged Liver Secreted Factors on Healthy Heart Muscle Cells," explores how aging organs affect each other. They built 3D heart tissue from stem cells and exposed young and aged tissue to factors released by young and aged liver cells. Aged heart tissue showed the strongest cell-aging response to aged liver factors, which suggests the liver may play a role in how the heart ages.
Thank you to their faculty mentor, Dr. Aylin Acun, and to SURCA for supporting this work.

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS, RAYANNA🎉

Rayanna Jarrett, a BME sophomore, won Best Poster in the Biochemistry/Molecular Biology/Biomedical Engineering category at the 2026 SURCA Symposium! 🏆

Fat tissue gets stiffer in obesity, and cells can sense that change. Rayanna's project looks at how the stiffness of a cell's surroundings affects where Yes-associated protein (YAP) sits inside fat cells. She built soft gels that mimic lean and obese fat tissue, laying the groundwork for the next phase of this research.

Thank you to Dr. LiKang Chin for her mentorship, and to Widener's SURCA program for supporting undergraduate summer research. 💙💛

⚽ Student-Athlete Highlight

Balancing a sport with an engineering course load takes structure, and the habits built on the field often carry straight into the classroom.

In this highlight, Anthony Giafaglione, a first-year Biomedical Engineering student and right wing back for the Widener men's soccer team, shares how being an athlete shapes his approach to BME coursework, how studying BME changed the way he takes care of his body, and what he'd tell other students trying to balance both.

We're glad to have him as part of the Widener BME community! 💙💛

🌎 International Transfer Student Highlight

Transferring is rarely just about changing schools, and figuring out how your coursework will carry over can be the most complicated part.

In this highlight, Abdullah, a junior Biomedical Engineering student from Pakistan who transferred from Delaware Technical Community College, shares what his move to Widener has been like and what he'd tell anyone making a similar one.

His biggest piece of advice: start researching early, because credits are evaluated differently at every school, and even more so when you're coming from a college outside the U.S.

We're glad to have him as part of the Widener BME community! 💙💛

Swipe through to hear his perspective and learn more about his experience.

⚽ Student Athlete Highlight!
Meet one of our first-year Biomedical Engineering students, a member of the Widener Women’s Soccer team who brings her experiences both on and off the field into her BME journey.
From the technology athletes use to the skills developed through competition, there are plenty of connections between athletics and biomedical engineering.
We’re excited to highlight her experience as she begins her journey in BME! 💙💛
Swipe through to learn more about her experience balancing life as a student, athlete, and BME student.

🎓Transfer Student Highlight
Starting over at a new university can come with a lot of uncertainty, but finding your place and building a new community can make all the difference.
In this highlight, Elenah, a Biomedical Engineering student transferring from Rowan College of South Jersey, shares her experience making the transition to Widener BME and offers some advice for other students who may be starting their own transfer journey.
We’re excited to have her as part of the Widener BME community! 💙💛
