Biomedical Engineering

The Division of Biomedical Engineering represents a multi-disciplinary research and educational program that lies at the interface between medicine and engineering. The goal of the program is to operate research programs with international reputations in the fields of regenerative medicine and bioimaging, and to maintain an outstanding educational opportunity for bioengineering and biomedical science students. Biomedical Engineering is heavily engaged in translating new technologies to the market place. Since the year 2000 the 5 primary faculty in Biomedical Engineering have generated 19 patent disclosures and spun off 4 companies.

Graduate Education

Administered by the ARL, the Graduate Interdisciplinary Program (GIDP) in Biomedical Engineering is offered by the core faculty of the ARL Division of Biomedical Engineering plus 44 affiliated faculty from 5 colleges. The program offers exciting opportunities for students interested in research and training related to biomedical engineering. Graduate students, currently numbering 29 can learn in a broad range of areas, integrating engineering and mathematics with biology and medicine in a highly collaborative and multi-disciplinary environment. The BME-GIDP offers M.S. and Ph.D degrees, as well as graduate minor degrees for students in related disciplines.
