Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering

Degrees Offered:

  • Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering
  • Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering Discipline Overview:

    The biotechnical industry uses living cells, materials produced by cells, and biological techniques developed through research to create products for use in other industries. Work in the field of biotechnology has produced antibiotics, insulin, interferon, artificial organs, recombinant DNA, techniques for waste reduction and recycling, and hybrid plants that are insect resistant. Biomedical Engineers work alongside physicians to develop systems that track critical chemical processes in the body. Biomedical specialists may also be involved in the design of artificial organs, such as hearts, lungs, kidney, or skin.
