A FCT-NOVA doctoral student in Biomedical Engineering, Ana Teresa Gabriel, won the second prize in the "IFMBE Student Competition on Medical" held in Toronto last June 11 at the "World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2015" with the paper "Vertebral Metrics: development of a third and improved prototype".
The World Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics Leaders’ Summit is the inaugural tri-annual high-level policy meeting dedicated exclusively to furthering the role of biomedical engineering and medical physics in medicine. This unique event brings together key decision makers, academics, and practicing engineers and physicists from around the globe and encourages timely debate on emerging issues related to the development and sustainability of the role and impact of medical physicists and biomedical engineers in medicine and healthcare. The Summit provides a unique and important forum to secure a coordinated, multileveled global response to the need, demand, and importance of creating and supporting strong academic and clinical teams of biomedical engineers and medical physicists for the benefit of human health.
