BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING CENTER
-
Advances four major objectives:
- diagnosis of diseases and disorders with minimal harm to healthy tissues,
- diagnosis of diseases and disorders with minimal exposure to toxic agents,
- treatment of illness by targeting therapies directly to the affected site without acting on unaffected sites, and
- monitoring physiology and health with minimum effect on the body.
Promotes engineering research in minimally invasive biomedical
technology that results in reduced risk and morbidity, lowered
health care costs, faster recovery, less time lost from work and
activities, and improved quality of life.
Some topics in which affiliated faculty conduct research:
-
Biosensors, biomedical instruments, patient monitoring equipment and
microcomputer-based medical instruments; molecular engineering for
localized drug delivery; radiological engineering and imaging-guided
treatment; biomechanics, musculoskeletal injuries and instruments and
devices for arthroscopic and laparoscopic surgery; rehabilitation
engineering and design for disabilities.
