Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program
The Biomedical Engineering program at Brown University provides interdisciplinary graduate-level education in engineering, biology, and medicine. The program features an interdisciplinary approach in two complementary research thrusts: living systems/machine interfaces and regenerative medicine. In the former, the properties of biological molecules and organisms are exploited to develop new technologies. In the latter, living cells are manipulated to produce replacement organs and novel therapies. The program is distinguished by its strong connections between academic science, clinical medicine, and industry. Graduate students gain clinical experience at teaching hospitals associated with Brown's Medical School and engage in internships at companies commercializing biomedical technologies.
Areas of particular strength at Brown include biomaterials (Briant, Crisco, Jay, Lysaght, Mathiowitz, Morgan, Palmore, Powers), biofluidics (Breuer, Jay, Richardson, Tripathi), medical imaging (Bearer, Crisco, Kimia, Nurmikko), nanotechnology (Breuer, Palmore, Powers, Xu), and tissue engineering (Hoffman-Kim, Morgan).
