Institute of Biomedical Engineering
The Institute of Biomedical Engineering, in short for BME, was officially founded under College of Engineering on August 1st, 2012.There is a M.S. program in BME, taking 15 students per year. The number of students will be increased over time according to our pace of recruiting new faculty members.We plan to establish the Ph.D. program and the Ph.D./M.D. program with local medical schools soon. The students taken in BME are from multi-disciplinary backgrounds, including Chemical Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Life Sciences, Medical School, etc.
This newly founded BME has been collaborated with other departments, institutes and research centers on campus and focus on Macro-/Nanomedicine, Biomaterials, and Cellular Mechanics. The mission of BME is to establish the world-leading class of biomedical-engineering research and closely work with the local related industry.
