Science becomes art in the winning and notable photographs from the J. Crayton Pruitt Family Department of Biomedical Engineering 2019 Art of Research Photo Contest. Thank you to all who submitted their images!

This annual event celebrates the art of research through the eyes of BME faculty, staff and students. Judging was based on scientific significance, originality, and artistic and/or visual impact of the images. The winning photo, called “Notorious DRG,” by Mary Kasper, BME Ph.D. student, was chosen for its breathtaking composition. The 2019 winners will be displayed on the ground floor of the Biomedical Sciences Building.
