Concentrations
Biomedical Devices
Biomedical Devices focus on the development of new biomedical technology for life science research and advanced health care. This concentration provides training in fundamental aspects of cell biology and physiology in addition to traditional areas of mechanical and electrical engineering as applied to biotechnology and medical devices.
Biomedical Imaging
The Biomedical Imaging concentration helps us see inside the body through work on new imaging systems and refinements to technologies like MRI, CT and ultrasound. We learn to analyze imaging systems with quantitative assessments of resolution, contrast, and noise.
Cell & Tissue Engineering
Work in Cell & Tissue engineering focuses on understanding and modifying the behavior of biological cells and tissues in both health and disease. This includes creating replacements for damaged tissues and body parts, and therapies to assist the body in regenerating injured or aged components.
Computational & Synthetic Biology
Computational & synthetic biologists aim to design and build novel biological functions and systems by applying engineering design principles and computational tools to biology. This includes genome editing, modeling, and analysis of large sets of genomic data.
