The official BMES 2026 hotel block is now open, with discounted rates available exclusively for Annual Meeting attendees. We encourage you to book early to secure your room and stay close to all the conference activities.
We've also partnered with Visit Orlando to provide attendees with exclusive discounts, local offers, and destination resources to help you make the most out of your time in Orlando.
Visit our hotel page for hotel details, booking information, and travel resources.
If you are contacted by other third-party companies offering hotel assistance, please be aware they are not affiliated with BMES. You will receive information directly from BMES (via emails or social media posts) regarding any legitimate housing updates.
Don't miss the Advanced Biomanufacturing (ABioM) Symposium at BMES2026!
Featuring keynote presentations from Adam Feinberg of Carnegie Mellon University and Aijun Wang of the University of California, Davis, the symposium will highlight cutting-edge advances, emerging opportunities, and collaborative solutions shaping the field.
Attendees will also celebrate outstanding contributions through the Young Innovator, Postdoctoral Excellence, and Graduate Student Excellence Awards and have opportunities to connect with colleagues and build new collaborations across the biomanufacturing community.
Event Details: Date: Friday, October 23 | Time: 8:30 am - 6:00 pm | Location: Anaheim Room
Applications for the Student & Postdoctoral Fellow Travel Awards will close on Monday, September 14. Recipients will be notified after the application deadline. These awards will support undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows by providing registration assistance and travel and lodging support to those presenting at the BMES 2026 Annual Meeting. We strongly encourage applications from individuals whose institutions provide fewer opportunities for professional development, mentoring, networking, graduate school, or industry recruitment opportunities. The travel awards are supported in part by an R13 conference grant from the NIH (NIH grant 1R13EB038105-01) and in part by a conference grant from NSF (NSF grant number 2628713).
Award Details:
Eligibility: undergraduate student, graduate student, or postdoctoral fellow at the time of application presenting at the BMES 2026 Annual Meeting.
Benefits: complimentary registration for the BMES Annual Meeting, funding to help cover travel and lodging expenses.
Applicants from institutions with fewer opportunities for professional advancement. mentoring, networking, or external recruitment are strongly encouraged to apply.
Find the perfect fit for your team at BMES' Meet the Faculty recruitment event and connect with the brightest minds in biomedical engineering.
About You: Heads of departments, professors, and recruiting managers looking to hire for research-focused and teaching-focused positions.
About Candidates: Those who were accepted to attend this event are actively on the market for the 2026-2027 recruiting cycle and have received their PhD in 2026 or prior.
About Talent Pool:
BMES will distribute to recruiters a comprehensive package with profiles of both teaching-focused and research-focused candidates. This is available only to those recruiters who complete our recruiter form by September 25.
Are you a High School or Undergraduate student presenting a poster at the 2026 BMES Annual Meeting? If your work focuses on developing or applying human-relevant, non-animal methodologies (like organoids or organ-on-chip models), you could win an official certificate and a cash prize of up to $350!

In this episode of Office Hours with Liz Wayne, Liz talks with Stacey Finley, PhD, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Quantitative and Computational Biology and the Nicole A. and Thuan Q. Pham Professor at the University of Southern California, about how computational and mathematical modeling is helping researchers better understand cancer and predict treatment outcomes.
Our video series celebrating last year's BMES award recipients and innovators whose work is shaping the future of biomedical engineering concludes with our final spotlight.
Dr. Stacey Finley, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Quantitative and Computational Biology at the University of Southern California and recipient of the 2025 BMES Mid-Career Award is this week's spotlight.
Through her work at the intersection of computational modeling and cancer biology, Finley is helping researchers better understand how tumors respond to treatment while also shaping the next generation of biomedical engineers through mentorship, collaboration and leadership. Read More

Univentricular heart defects remain one of the greatest challenges in pediatric cardiovascular surgery. Although well-established, the traditional approach consisting of three serial palliative procedures (Norwood, Glenn, and Fontan) entails cumulative risks, repeated hospitalizations, high healthcare costs, and significant psychosocial impact. This study proposes a single-stage neonatal surgical strategy integrating a tissue-engineered vascular graft and a differential flow control valve to enable adaptive and gradual modulation of cavopulmonary flow, avoiding abrupt physiological transitions. To evaluate the hemodynamic feasibility of the proposed concept, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model was developed and analyzed under controlled flow conditions. Read More
