What is Biomedical Engineering?
Biomedical engineering
integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and
engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior, and health. It
advances fundamental concepts; creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ
systems level; and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes,
implants, devices and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health.
