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. "
NIH working definition of bioengineering - July 24, 1997

Within Biomedical Engineering, there are several concentrations or areas of study. These include biomechanics, biomaterials, biomedical imaging, biosensors and instrumentation, and tissue engineering. For a description of each specialization and the types of things a person in that area may research, visit the WPI BME Department Page.

What is the Biomedical Engineering Society?
