Doctoral Study in Biomedical Engineering

Our multidisciplinary program encourages and supports collaborative research designed to produce new knowledge about fundamental mechanisms in the life sciences and to bond basic and clinical research to provide new knowledge for improving health care by way of device development and innovative medical technology. Additional information is available at Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group

Preparation

The BMEGG curriculum requires strong competence in mathematics, engineering, and biology for successful completion of study. Prior course work in these areas is emphasized in the evaluation of applications, though some undergraduate training can be acquired after admission to the BMEGG. For additional information, see Academic Preparation.

Degree Requirements & Program Coordinator

Current degree requirements and program contacts are maintained at Biomedical Engineering.

Courses

See Biomedical Engineering (BIM). Elective coursework will be selected with a Graduate Advisor to define a specific course of study suited to individual goals.

Research Focus Areas

Research strengths lie in the areas of: biomaterials & devices; biomechanics & mechanobiology; biomedical imaging & biophotonics; computational & synthetic biology; engineering education; molecular, cellular & tissue engineering; and neuroengineering & bioelectricity.
