SBME Student Spotlight: Daniel Cheong

The first student in our BME student spotlight series is Daniel Cheong. Daniel is a third-year student from Muskogee, Oklahoma and is currently the president of the OU Biomedical Engineering Society. He got involved in BMES his freshman year and served as the treasurer for a year before assuming his current role as president. One of his favorite BMES memories is performing a sodium alginate experiment with touring high school students and teaching them how to cross-link hydrogels in 3-D printed neuron molds. Post-graduation, Daniel will be applying to medical schools and aiming to complete his M.D. or M.D. Ph.D. 

Last week, the University of Oklahoma Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering sent 18 students to the 2019 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting in Philadelphia. Congratulations to our graduate and undergraduate students who were selected to present their posters at the conference.

Thank you to the OU Community for celebrating the opening of Gallogly Hall with us this past weekend. The new building is the home of the Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering and the Diversity and Inclusion Programs and provides new and exciting opportunities for current and future University of Oklahoma students and faculty. 

Next time you find yourself on the Engineering Quad, walk around Gallogly Hall to see the new, state-of-the-art facilities! We are located between Felgar Hall and the ExxonMobil Lawrence G. Rawl Engineering Practice Facility, at 173 Felgar Street.
