Howdy! I'm Varu, a 4th year Biomedical Engineering Premed major planning to attend medical school after college. I'm an undergraduate researcher in Suture Lab, working on a novel solution for postpartum hemorrhage under Dr. King; and Baram Lab, assessing memory in the mouse hippocampus under Dr. Baram. I volunteer and shadow at UCI Health - Fountain Valley, and I'm going to start working as an EMT this fall. Outside of school, I like to work out, chill with my cat Circe, and bake sweet treats (my fellow board members can vouch). BMES has been an incredibly supportive community in my journey as an engineer as well as an aspiring doctor, and I hope it can be part of your journey too! Feel free to reach out to me for advice about the premed life and questions about medicine (or cat pictures) ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ 

Nice to meet you! My name is Christopher Tan and I’m a third year BME:Premed. I’m an undergraduate researcher in the Beier Lab (neurophysiology) and the new lab manager of the King Lab (medical devices addressing women's health). I’m involved in a lot of different things on campus such as student advocacy in ASUCI and the Campuswide Honors Collegium. Outside of school, I enjoy 3D printing, rock climbing, and photography. BMES is hands down my favorite club; it's where I made awesome friends and got to have some really cool experiences. I love meeting new people so come say hi if you see me at a meeting!   

hi everyone, it’s lucas. excited to be your project coordinator again this year. if you’re looking to add some project experience to your resume, you’re in luck because we have some fun project events planned for you all this year. can’t wait to get started. 

Hi! I'm An and I'm a third-year BME student. I'm currently doing research in the Chesler Lab to study the disease progression of pulmonary hypertension from left heart failure. I'm also an R&D Intern at Matregenix working on electrospinning nanofibers for wound healing! In my free time, I enjoy cooking, watching K-dramas, and exploring OC & LA (I'm a big foodie / matcha fiend). As a project coordinator, I hope to make BMES a welcoming place for you to gain technical skills and make new friends. Feel free to reach out with questions or any recs for a delicious food/coffee spot! 

Hi! My name is Neela and I'm a second year biomedical engineering major. I'm currently an undergraduate researcher with the Wong lab at the Beckman Laser Institute working in 3d scanning/modeling. Outside of school I love watching tv shows (pls give recs!), reading, listening to music, sudoku, going on walks, getting boba, and embroidery. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in BME or anything else. I'm excited to be a part of BMES and I'm looking forward to a great year! 

Hi! My name is Shreyas, and I'm a 4th year BMEP major. I'm currently performing research in Dr. Xiang's TRUE Lab dedicated to finding cancer diagnostic and treatment modalities that serve as alternatives to X-ray radiation/CT based methods. I also serve as an ER volunteer, and work as a mentor for Learning Assistants here at UCI via the Certified Learning Assistants Program (CLAP). My long-term goal is to pursue a career in the medical field as an oncologist. Some things that I do outside of academics include performing Southern Indian Classical music, arranging songs for A Cappella, and playing videogames while listening to their OSTs (most recently, it was DS era Pokemon games). I'm excited for this upcoming year and I look forward to meeting and working with everyone! 

Hi! My name is Davey and I'm a second-year bme. Some things I'm into include thrifting, soccer, hiking, and selling clothes. As for school-related activities, I'm currently involved in two labs here at UCI including vaginal pessary implants and two-photon fluorescence & reflection image processing to gather data on human retinas. I'm so excited to meet all of you and I can't wait to see you at our events this school year! feel free to reach out if you have any questions!  

Hello! I’m Kayleigh, and I’m a third year BME major (fun fact I used to be BMEP) planning to go into biotech or genetic engineering. I am currently part of the Ding Lab researching FISH (Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization) to advance RNA spatial mapping on a single cell level. Outside of academics, I love cooking, going to the gym, watching c dramas, and jewelry making. I am so excited to meet all of you, and I’m looking forward to an incredible year for BMES! Feel free to reach out :) 

Hi! I'm Mihir, and I am a 2nd year BME student. I'm currently doing research in the Cardiovascular Modeling Lab under Dr. Grosberg, investigating sex differences in cardiomyocyte contractility and stress. In the future, I hope to work in the biotech industry and help develop medical devices to improve healthcare. Outside of school, I enjoy listening to music (especially rap and pop), reading manga, and hanging out with friends. From the social to the professional development events, BMES has helped me make many new friends and improve my technical skills, and I'm excited to contribute to the club as the fundraising chair this year. I look forward to meeting all of you!
