Lee, Chemistry;Hierarchical self-assembly of intermediate filaments, role inbiomaterials to protein hormone assemblies that regulatefatty acid metabolism, relevance to obesityAssistant Professor Blaine Pfeifer, Chemical andBiological Engineering; Metabolic engineering, drug delivery,biomaterialsResearch Assistant Professor Greg Altman, BiomedicalEngineering; Collagen-based matrices, ligament formation,impact of mechanical forces on human adult stem cell differentiation,bioreactor system, in vitro tissue formationand developmentBioengineering is the integration of physical,chemical, or mathematical sciences and engineeringprinciples for the study of biology, medicine,behavior, or health. The bioengineering programsprovide comprehensive education and research atthe School of Engineering and the School of Artsand Sciences in collaboration with Tufts’ medical,dental, veterinary, and nutrition schools.A number of part- and full-time degree programsand certificates are offered in the fields of biomedicalengineering, biotechnology, and drug discovery andassessment. Biomedical engineering involves theapplication of state-of-the-art technology to devicedesign and fabrication; biotechnology includes proteinexpression, folding and assembly, biomaterials andtissue engineering, and biofilms as examples; drugdiscovery and assessment includes disease markers,resistance mechanisms, and new drug discovery.For information on programs in bioengineering,please contact the bioengineering center office at617-627-2580.UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMSBiomedical Engineering(SEE BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING FOR A DESCRIPTIONOF THE PROGRAMS.)Biotechnology(SEE BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THEPROGRAMS.)GRADUATE PROGRAMSGraduate degree programs are tailored to the backgroundand goals of the individual student. Graduatestudents at both the master’s and Ph.D. levelcarry out challenging research projects within theBioengineering Center or in other Tufts departmentsor professional schools. Internships andtraining opportunities in which students can gainfirsthand practical and laboratory experience arealso available at local biotechnology and biomedicalcompanies. Degree programs may be pursued on apart-time or full-time basis.Master’s programs may be either course-based(such as the practice-oriented master of engineeringdegree), or research-based (thesis or researchproject). Full-time degree candidates are eligible forsponsored research projects. Doctoral programsmay be pursued part-time, with a one-year residencyrequirement.Biomedical Engineering(SEE BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING FOR A DESCRIPTIONOF THE PROGRAMS.)Biotechnology(SEE BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THEPROGRAMS.)CERTIFICATE PROGRAMSFour-course graduate-level certificate programs aredesigned for science, engineering, and medicalprofessionals seeking graduate-level programs toexpand their knowledge of biomedical science,biotechnology, and engineering. Certificates areoffered through the Office of Graduate Studies,and in conjunction with the departments of biology,chemistry, chemical and biological engineering,and biomedical engineering. The certificateprograms can be completed on a part-time, nondegreebasis by students who are seeking professionaltraining in the field or preparing for a degree program.In most cases, courses taken as a certificatestudent can be transferred into a related master’sdegree program. The programs are open to studentswho have already earned a bachelor’s degree.BioengineeringThe certificate program in bioengineering consistsof an interdisciplinary course of study that allowsstudents to focus on areas such as biomedicalinstrumentation, biomedical optics, biomaterials/biotechnology and tissue engineering. Courses aretaught by faculty in engineering as well as experiencedclinical professionals from Tufts’ health scienceschools.The certificate requires four courses.93

Kaplan, Biomedical Engineering / Chemicaland Biological EngineeringThe booming biomedical industry demands skilledprofessionals whose expertise can cross traditionalboundaries of science and engineering. Companiesare seeking electrical engineers who understand themedical uses of diagnostic imaging instrumentation,biotechnology professionals with training intissue engineering to develop tissue implants, andmechanical engineers who are well-versed in biomaterialsto design artificial joints.The certificate in Bioengineering addresses thisneed through a highly interdisciplinary course ofstudy that allows students to focus on biomedicalinstrumentation, biomedical optics, biomaterials/biotechnology and tissue engineering or otherrelated areas of study. Courses are taught by facultyin engineering as well as experienced clinical professionalsfrom Tufts' world-renowned health scienceschools.The program is open to students with at least abachelor's degree in engineering, science, or healthscience.With this certificate engineers can launchcareers in biomedical instrumentation design. Clinicalpractitioners and technicians can shift careersto biomedical equipment sales. It is also a usefultechnology complement for executives, medicalprofessionals, and policy makers interested in theapplication of technology to the medical, businessor legal profession.The certificate requires the completion of fourcourses.For more information and an application, contactthe Office of Graduate Studies at 617-627-3395,or visit http://gradstudy.tufts.edu/.BiologyAssociate Professor Juliet Fuhrman, Chair; Immunologyand parasitic diseasesProfessor Frances Sze-Ling Chew, Ecology, plant-insectinteractionsProfessor David E.
