Bioengineering conference draws global research leaders Bioengineering conference draws global research leaders The 40th annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference drew more than 700 researchers to Northeastern last month. When smaller is better When smaller is better Assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences Tania Konry has developed a system that efficiently tests for a wide range of biological specimens. Whether you’re looking for complex cancer cell biomarkers in a sample or simple bacteria in drinking water, the system costs significantly less than standard approaches and spits out results in a fraction of the time.
