Biomedical engineering is an exciting, multidisciplinary field that lies at the interface of medicine, biology and engineering. It is dedicated to solving a range of health-related challenges in areas such as biomechanics and mechanobiology, medical devices, imaging & diagnostics, and therapeutics.
Our research spans the study of skeletal mechanical environment and its regulation of cancer, to light-matter interaction in nanoscale materials for imaging and diagnostics, to developing strategies for rationally engineering next-generation smart antimicrobials that can eliminate multi-drug resistant superbugs. We are also leaders in innovative teaching and PhD student mentoring.
Designated as the #1 state with the highest concentration of BME jobs in 2022 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), CU Boulder offers abundant opportunities to advance your professional and academic careers. With our strong connections to CU Anschutz and national labs such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology, students also have opportunities to impact real-world research.
