Meet our 2024 cohort of BioE PhD students!
Research, Innovation, Impact
Join an interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial, and innovation-driven bioengineering program that will not only help advance your career, but produce societal impact.
Next Generation Biomaterials Workshop
2024
Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, the two-day session brought 48 thought leaders in biomaterials from multiple institutions to the Knight Campus
A PhD Program with a Purpose
Research That Fuels the Impact Cycle
Cutting-edge research that aims to serve society through translation of new discoveries and technologies.
Accelerate Your Career
High impact trainings and mentorship on science communication and entrepreneurship that launch, and accelerate, your professional development.
Research Tools to Make Your Future
World-class facilities for fabrication, prototyping and analysis to help you transform your research ideas into real-world solutions and products.
Joint PhD Program Focused on Translation
An innovative joint PhD training program leverages the combined strengths at the University of Oregon Knight Campus and Oregon State University.
Yan Pacheco, a fourth year PhD candidate in the Hettiaratchi/Willett Labs at Knight Campus Department of Bioengineering, has been a part of the LatinXinBME organization almost from the beginning.
The Knight Campus will welcome 7 PhD students in the fall of 2024 with a range of talents and interests. They share a commitment to making an impact while taking their science, and their careers, to the next level.
Five Ph.D. students from the Knight Campus Department of Bioengineering have been awarded prestigious Graduate Research Fellowships from the National Science Foundation. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is considered the gold standard in graduate research fellowships and is only handed out to about 2,000 students nationwide.
Three bioengineering faculty have received National Institutes of Health grants totaling nearly $5 million to support powerful research with the potential to help us heal faster, be healthier, and live better.
Mentorship and student access are at the heart of the Knight Campus mission. Bioengineering Assistant Professor Marian Hettiaratchi is among those recognized at the UO for her teaching efforts and student mentorship.
Knight Campus Bioengineering Associate Professor Paul Dalton and his international colleagues helped advance melt electrowriting (a high-resolution technique), improving manufacturing precision and quality control in 3D-printing.
