The BioTECH Quarterly
The BioTECH is a publication by the MIT (Biological Engineering)-Biomedical Engineering Society (BE-BMES) as a vehicle to inform, involve, and mobilize our membership regarding the complex and evolving bioengineering landscape at MIT and nationwide. Founded in Spring 2003, the BioTECH has grown from a campus publication to one with wider constituencies, a bridge for inter-chapter relations and a catalyst to spark discussions on the national scene — the BMES Bulletin, for example, printed our Letter to the Editor in a full page coverage (p.3) of its Summer 2004 issue.
