Team FeediNG Forward won the Best Overall Project in biomedical engineering at the Spring 2022 Capstone Design Expo April 26. Their project developed an improved nasogastric tube for premature infants that protects against displacement after insertion and verifies proper initial placement without the need for X rays. The team included Alima Ballo, Esha Kashyap, Eunice Kim, Janet Kim, and Meghana Sridhar. (Photo: Joshua Stewart)
