Be the Engineer of a bright new future in human health.
Biomedical Engineering
What is Biomedical Engineering?
Biomedical Engineering is multi-disciplinary by nature, covering a broad scope of areas related to medical technology. These include biomaterials and tissue engineering, genomics and bioinformatics, nanotechnology, advanced additive manufacturing (3D printing, Bioprinting, and microfluidics), biomechanics, bio-instrumentation and artificial intelligence.
Biomedical engineers design and develop medical-related equipment and systems for analysis, diagnosis, therapy, and rehabilitation. Their ultimate goal is to improve healthcare delivery and extend the quality and longevity of human life.
