Student Chapters

SBE maintains student chapters to serve the intellectual and professional interests of students in the biological sciences.  Through their individual and collective activities, the members of chapters are ambassadors for their chapter, for their biological engineering department, for their college/university, and for SBE.  They are dedicated to the broader SBE mission to connect people, cultivating knowlege, and catalyze the future.

Membership in SBE is now free to undergraduates.  To join, fill out our membership form.

SBE kicked off student chapters in the fall of 2005 with a conference for university students and professors interested in the study of biological engineering and in the establishment of student chapters.  Seventeen schools from all over the country traveled to Boston to attend.  This first of its kind symposium consisted of seminars and workshops designed to help students creat and operate student-run chapters.  This year's conference was held on Saturday, January 20 at the University of California, Los Angeles.  Students from the U.S., Europe, and Mexico attended.
