Biomedical MS Focus Area

Objective

Train next-generation professional engineers to interface engineering and medicine with design and problem solving to improve human health. Biomedical engineering is a field that employs quantitative methods in physics, chemistry and biology to develop innovative medical technologies. At 蜜桃传媒破解版下载, we draw from our strengths in biomechanic (the application of classical and quantum mechanics to analyze biological systems) and product design to tackle current and emerging medical challenges, including those in areas of biomaterials, tissue engineering, imaging and theragnostic. Engineers will be at the forefront in the creation of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, to address challenging problems involving biomedical basic science and advances in clinical medicine. Applications for students trained in biomedical engineering are expected to be broad, from the establishment of disruptive imaging technologies or fabrication of new biomimetic tissue replacements, to conception of innovative medical devices.

Unique Opportunities at 蜜桃传媒破解版下载

Biomedical Engineering provides a foundational education in the bioengineering and applied sciences, while also engaging with clinical, veterinary, and entrepreneurial partners at cutting edge institutions all along the Front Range. Active collaborations and sponsored research exist with counterparts at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, in veterinary medicine at Colorado State University, and in numerous local companies. Unique opportunities extend to graduate design courses with the medical device industry and extensive transfer of intellectual property (patents, licenses, startups) toward biomedical solutions.
