This past quarter, our BGA members have been committed to their outreach efforts. Members recently have done a high school visit to talk to students about their journeys so far as bioengineers in the UCLA Bioengineering department and have also participated in the LA Maker Faire to offer hands-on activities like a portable microscope demonstration!

On Wednesday, March 11th, 2026, the UCLA Bioengineering department hosted our annual Capstone Design Symposium for our graduating senior students. Dr. Sean Yamada-Hunter, one of our newest assistant professors, helped host this year’s capstone symposium alongside various graduate teaching assistants who also guided the undergraduate students with their capstone projects for the past two quarters. BioE faculty members who also assisted the students were in attendance and affiliated faculty helped judge the projects as well.
Congratulations to all the teams who partook in the Symposium. Check out more photos from the event in the link in our story/story highlights #EngineerChange #UCLABioengineering
Ready, camera, action! 🎬📸
Last Friday, BGA hosted a mixer where grad students could connect, mingle, and walk away with free professional headshots to level up their LinkedIn and career profiles. Networking + new headshots = ✨win win ✨
On March 6, 2026, the UCLA Bioengineering department welcomed the newly admitted graduate students for our annual Graduate Student Open House event. Thank you to our prospective students for visiting UCLA Bioengineering and we hope to see you in Fall as Bruins! 🐻💛💙 #UCLABioengineering #EngineerChange

New research shows that after the body’s defenses kill the virus behind COVID-19, leftover digested chunks of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can target specific immune cells based on their shape. The revelations could explain why certain populations of cells that detect and fight infection are depleted in patients with severe COVID-19, and shed light on the omicron variant’s milder symptoms.
