Experts on Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering brings the principles and techniques of engineering to bear on problems in biology and medicine. Biomedical engineers develop medical devices, new surgical techniques and technology, and new approaches to medical imaging; they engineer tissue and new drug deliver methods to treat illness; and they perfect new ways to understand the workings of the human body and the causes of disease. WPI experts on biomedical engineering cover a broad array of domains, including as biomechanics, biomaterials, neuroimaging, and tissue engineering.
