“Bio(medical) 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.”
