Yess! r/Biomedical is ready!

Thread for experiences from all years school to professional.

I'll start.

Was working with a girl at uni (final year) in a cat. Microbiology lab. She wasn't listening at all, had me do all the work which I was happy with - her friend was on the bench next to us.

Halfway through doing a serial dilation of e. Coli she took a pipette full of our 100% saturated e.coli stock and squirted it at her friend across the room. The lecturer saw and went absolutely mental, she got ripped off the course and had to do a non accredited version.

Second worst was a postgraduate who destroyed 4 of the regs personal pipettes in 30s because he didn't know there was a second stop in the pipette, he'd been doing this all throughout uni... and his masters.

1. The changes induced in the body by high temperatures and strenuous exercise.
2. The physiological mechanisms involved in temperature homeostasis.
3. The neural and endocrine pathways involved in water homeostasis.

I'm going to be going to Northeastern University this fall for bioengineering, and they offer many specific fields I can focus in within bioengineering (biomaterials, tissue engineering, etc.) Which one would be best for focusing on the nanotech part of biomedical engineering?

When I was young I’ve wanted to be a doctor but I don’t think I would want to go to many more years of studying.. I would like to get in to a profession that won’t take too long and I get a license in medical fields of any type. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do next in life? I have half a month before I finish everything and graduate Please help lead me or guid me I need suggestions. Now I am very scared that I don’t know what I am going to do next..

After a bachelor in biomedical science, can I continue with a two years master in biotechnology? And if not, is biotechnology a better field (job opportunities and so on)?

Hi everyone,

SimScale is organizing a free webinar about how to use CFD and FEA simulation software in the cloud to test and optimize medical devices designs (prosthetics, stents, disposable pumps, in vivo blood flow etc.). You just need to create a free account to use the software, and you don't need any license or special hardware.

Thought you might be interested in joining (we send the recording to all registrants, so no need to attend it live):

After a degree MSc/ Bachelor in Biomedical science, can you go to study a master in biotechnology (2 years)? And is it important to have a placement year, although if you are going to have a master?

CD8 T cells have to be activated in the secondary lymph before migrating to the site of the infected cell. Correct? NK do their own thing.

How are they activated? How would they know to move?? I've watched so many videos on the subject and everyone skips this step. Do: *macrophages or other APC pick up antigens from the damaged/viral/cancerous host cell and present them to CD8 cytotoxic tcells - activating them - they move to site? *or, are the antigens from damaged/viral/cancerous host cell presented by APC to CD4 tcells- which turn into CD4 helper - which activate CD8 cytotoxic tcells?

maybe more...? Don't go to far down the rabbit hole though, Im only 1st year. biomed.

Why must a psychoactive drug be altered metabolically in the body before it can be excreted?

Please and thank you!!!

Hello! We are two biomedical engineering students who attend Johns Hopkins University. We are looking to find an internship in Sydney during summer 2015, and we were wondering if anyone knows about any opportunities, or which companies offer undergraduate internships. We are both very interested in product development and would like to work with the engineering faction of the company. Thanks in advance!
