Co-President: Shreenithi Palamuthy Heading link
My name is Shreenithi Palamuthy, and I’m currently in my senior year of undergrad majoring in biomedical engineering with a cell & tissue engineering concentration. This is my third year on the EMBS board, and I will be serving as co-president this year. I joined EMBS because I wanted to practice and apply different BME skills through guided workshops. I have also been able to learn more about the research being conducted by professors in different areas of BME through distinguished lecturer talks in EMBS. In my free time, I like to go biking, paint, and sing. If you have any questions about EMBS please feel free to reach out to me!
