Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Biomedical
Engineering offers programs of study and
research leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The
programs of study prepare students for professional
work in the effective integration of engineering with
medical and biological sciences. Research strengths
lie in the areas of imaging, sensor and MEMs systems,
cellular and molecular mechanics, computational
modeling, targeted therapeutics, orthopedic
biomechanics, biofluids and transport, and human
movement. This broad interdepartmental program is
best suited for students who are capable of and comfortable
with considerable independence. Each stu-
