Bio- and Immunoengineering

Meeting the health care needs of a growing and aging population is not simply a matter of funding. It is an engineering problem, demanding significant breakthroughs to fundamental challenges to health and welfare.

In this track, you will explore the chemistry of polymers and biological molecules, the properties of biological and bioactive materials, and medicine to provide you with tools to understand, manipulate, stimulate, and eventually control immune molecules and cells, and to treat a broad range of health conditions, including cancer, infection, and autoimmunity. With the practical laboratory skills you’ll acquire in the experimental bioengineering laboratory, you’ll be able to apply these principles to clinical problems.

This track suits candidates interested in: medicine, the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, biomaterials, immunoengineering, tissue engineering, and cancer research.
