Direct PhD Program

 

Bioengineering is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together knowledge of physics, chemistry, and engineering to tools for the study of biology and the practice of medicine. This rapidly growing field provides a new level of understanding of biological systems, ranging from the molecular scale to entire organisms, by applying engineering-based analytical and experimental approaches.
