The Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering emphasizes excellence through practical applications in research. We are building interdisciplinary relationships to engage in cutting-edge research and its interface with industry. From developing imaging tools that reduce the amount of patient exposure to radiation, developing quantitative imaging biomarkers for evaluating treatment responses of ovarian cancer, or delivering photothermal therapy using single-walled carbon nanotubes combined to treat cancers more effectively, biomedical engineers are making an impact – one life at a time.
Our core focus areas include: biomechanics; molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering; biomedical micro-and nano-technology; bioimaging; biotransport and neural engineering.
