Spring 2026 UConn ECE Biology Workshop

On Tuesday, March 24th, UConn ECE hosted three professional development experiences for our instructors, including an event which welcomed nearly 50 ECE Biology instructors to the UConn Storrs Campus! The keynote address for the day was entitled “Same as it Ever was, prior to Biomineralization”. Additionally, instructors got to experience a presentation from third year Biomedical Engineering undergraduate student Tyrone Kennedy, who has conducted fascinating research while at UConn! We thank faculty coordinator Tom Abbott, Ph.D. for his efforts to make this event happen, and for his continued support of our ECE Biology community!
