George Mason prepared students for real-world experiences ahead of their senior years.

Understanding and treating complex eye movement disorders like strabismus has long been a challenge for clinicians. Now, researchers at George Mason University are pioneering a new approach using robotics and artificial intelligence to engineer a better future for vision care.

Sixteen students from George Mason’s College of Engineering and Computing took an early summer ROMP in Quito.

With state-of-the-art teaching labs and fabrication facilities, the Life Sciences Engineering Building (LSEB) lets students and faculty get their hands dirty in this brand-new multiuse active learning space. The ribbon cutting didn’t officially happen until March 27, but LSEB already experienced a housewarming.

In the lifespan of legacy research universities, 53 years is barely old enough to read. Twelve years might as well be an eye-blink. Yet, George Mason University has always proved itself a prodigy. The bioengineering department is no exception.

Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation (CASSBI) refreshed its mission and zeroed in more tightly on its translational research. The new vision of CASSBI is advancing system science and integrating innovation with medical technologies to benefit humanity.

The Bioengineering Department at the College of Engineering and Computing is excited to welcome four new Bioengineering Alliance members to the department. These members will bring new energy, expertise, and vision to move the department forward.

George Mason University bioengineering student Andy Gomez is a busy guy. Not only is he working on a year-long internship with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), he is also a part-time clinical research assistant at the Inova Schar Cancer Institute.

From designing innovative courses to mentoring students and fostering industry connections, Adjunct Professor Carolyn Wilson is channeling her decades of expertise into empowering the next generation of scientists at George Mason University.
