Overview

This individual project takes place between the first and second blocks of BMED365. While the second block focuses on computational biomedical imaging (MRI, IMC, etc.) and modeling, students will work independently on a project of their choice within the course scope. This project consists of two main deliverables:

1. A digital poster submitted through Mitt UiB
2. A "speed-poster" presentation to fellow students
