Every semester, the Marquette University and Medical College of Wisconsin Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering brings together biomedical engineers from across the United States for a series of speaking engagements describing ongoing research and novel contributions to this dynamic and engaging field.
Seminars will be held at alternating Marquette and MCW campus locations and are open to all students, faculty, and staff from both institutions.
Dr. Jared Cregg is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He is the principal investigator of the Cregg Lab, which investigates the organization of brainstem motor circuits linking higher brain functions to spinal movement control. Their research aims to uncover insights that could lead to new treatments for movement disorders.
