Biomedical Sciences - Marquette University

Welcome to Marquette, Class of 2030! 🦅

This week, we’re excited to meet the newest members of the Marquette community during SPARK. From registering for classes and exploring campus to making new friends and preparing for the fall semester, this is where the journey begins.

We can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish over the next four years. Welcome to Marquette—we’re so glad you’re here! ✨

After nearly three decades of service to Marquette University, we congratulate Dr. Lobner on his retirement! 🎉

Since joining the faculty in October 1997, Dr. Lobner has educated and mentored generations of undergraduate and graduate students while advancing our understanding of neuro degenerative diseases through his research. A proud Marquette alumnus himself, Dr. Lobner’s connection to the university spans far beyond his years as a faculty member. His dedication to teaching, mentorship, and scientific discovery has left a lasting impact on our department and the countless students whose lives he helped shape.

Please join us in thanking Dr. Lobner for his many contributions to Marquette and wishing him all the best in his retirement! 🥳

The Department of Biomedical Sciences has entered a new partnership with NVIDIA to support cutting-edge neuroscience research through advanced AI computing. 💻

Led through BISC’s 4-CYTE AI Foundry, this collaboration will help researchers analyze complex datasets, accelerate discovery, and explore new approaches to understanding the brain. 🧠

What begins as a partnership today has the potential to shape the future of neuroscience research, education, and human health. 🤝

We hope everyone’s enjoying the start of a well-deserved summer break so far! 🏖️😎

After a long semester of exams, labs, and deadlines, it’s finally time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the slower days ahead.

Now that the excitement of graduation weekend has had a moment to settle, we wanted to take one more opportunity to congratulate the Biomedical Sciences Class of 2026. 🎓🧬

We are incredibly proud of everything you accomplished during your time at Marquette. Your hard work, resilience, curiosity, and dedication brought you to this milestone, and it has been such a privilege to watch you grow into future healthcare professionals, researchers, scientists, and leaders.

Thank you for being part of the BISC community. We can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you! 💙💛
