Training Tracks in Bioengineering


Basic Research

The Discovery Track (MS or PhD)

Are you interested in performing original research? This track emphasizes traditional research opportunities with a focus on scientific discovery. It is designed for students interested in pursuing research careers in academia or industry. This track includes a doctoral dissertation or masters thesis.

Clinical Imaging

The Technology Track (MS)

Are you interested in helping patients and performing clinical research at an academic hospital? This track highlights our affiliation with the School of Medicine. It is designed for students interested in careers in clinical imaging modalities such as echocardiography or magnetic resonance imaging. It trains the next generation of research-oriented imaging technologists.

Translational Bioengineering

The Clinical Application Track (PhD)

Are you interested in translating engineering concepts into clinically useful tools, diagnostics, treatments, devices, or research methods? This track highlights our affiliation with the School of Medicine. It is designed for students interested in academic or industry research as well as students interested in careers in regulatory agencies.

Entrepreneurship

Commercialization of Medical Technologies Track (MS or PhD)

Are you interested in developing new biomedical devices and learning the process by which an idea progresses from inspiration to clinical use? This track emphasizes highly nontraditional work with its primary goal to commercialize novel biomedical technology, device, or application developed by the student. It is designed for students interested in starting up biomedical technology.
