Leading education and research in biomedical engineering to improve human health Biomedical Engineering is a discipline of great importance in society and is a vital and growing part of the global infrastructure – industry, academics, and hospitals. The field of biomedical engineering has been growing rapidly in the past few years. This expansion is due to many factors, including:
• Scientific and technological advances in molecular and cell biology, materials science, cellular agriculture, and other engineering disciplines;
•The growth and aging of the world population leading to increasing healthcare needs as well as the need for sustainable ways to feed this population;
•The increasing recognition of the role interdisciplinary strategies to solve complex biomedical problems and the associated costs and demands
The Biomedical Engineering Department at Tufts University reflects these themes and offers comprehensive education and research opportunities to students, faculty, and industry partners interested in pursuit of these topics.
Established at Tufts University in September 2002, the Biomedical Engineering Department (BME) is located in the Science and Technology Center on the Medford Campus.
