Connecting students to bioengineering and bioscience research at the University of Washington
BioExplore UW is an inclusive, research-focused student organization that helps students explore the wide range of bioengineering and bioscience research happening at the University of Washington. Through events, discussions, and hands-on opportunities, we make research more accessible and approachable for students at all stages.
What Is BioExplore?
BioExplore brings together students who are curious about research in bioengineering and the biosciences. We highlight diverse research areas, share pathways into labs, and provide practical guidance for getting involved — no prior research experience required.
