Teaching Internship
It has been said that true mastery of a subject requires the ability to teach it to others. The Department of Biomedical Engineering feels that the training of good communicators is crucial for producing excellent professionals. To this end, an advanced sequence of training exercises has been designed to create the educators of tomorrow.
First Year Tutoring
During the first year of graduate study, students decide which undergraduate classes they feel comfortable tutoring. A web-based database allows undergraduate access to first year graduate students for help in every course offered that semester. This provides a one-on-one teaching experience and allows the graduate students to accustom themselves to transmit instruction.
Second Year Internship
During the second year, all graduate students take a one-credit Teaching Internship Course. This course covers basic concepts in teaching and builds toward videotaped lectures to the class. With this one-on-many teaching experience, each student derives feedback from instructors and students and starts to build a concrete teaching portfolio.
Third Year Teaching Assistant
The most outstanding teachers from the Teaching Internship course have the option to be Teaching Assistants for Undergraduate Courses in the Third year.

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering Ranked No. 1 again by ISI
June 23, 2008
For the sixth year in a row, articles in the Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering (ARBME) were cited more often than papers in any of its peer journals, according to ISI's 2007 Journal Citation Report, giving it the highest "impact factor" in its peer group. The ARBME had an impact factor of 11.567 placing it #1 in its peer group of 44 journals, and #2 among all engineering journals. Professor Martin Yarmush serves as the editor-in-chief of the ARBME which published its first volume in 1999.

Anant Madabhushi awarded $260,000 Wallace H. Coulter Grant
June 11, 2008
Anant Madabhushi has been awarded a 2 year Phase 2 grant for $260,000 from the Wallace H. Coulter foundation for his proposal entitled "Automated Detection of Prostate Cancer from Multi-protocol High Resolution MRI". The Phase 2 award was competitive and of the 25 Phase 1 Early Career awardees only 7 were selected for Phase 2 based on progress made in Phase 1, a new grant application, and an oral presentation in front of a review committee in Florida, in early June. Under the Phase 2 project, Dr. Madabhushi will look to commercialize his ongoing research in developing computerized detection methods for prostate cancer using MRI. Clinical collaborators on this project are Dr. John Tomaszewski, Dr. Mark Rosen, and Dr. Mike Feldman from the University of Pennsylvania.
