Innovate the world of healthcare.

Biomedical Engineering is an exciting, multidisciplinary field that lies at the interface of medicine, biology and engineering.

Biomedical engineers use engineering principles to analyze and solve problems in biology and medicine, providing an overall enhancement to healthcare. Biomedical engineers create technology to save lives and improve the quality of life. Much of the equipment in hospitals and clinics across the globe was designed, built and tested by biomedical engineers. At the same time, biomedical engineers employ concepts learned from biology and medicine to generate new biomimeticÌýengineering designs in fields such as robotics and artificial intelligence.

Despite the advances in medicine to date, many injuries and diseases still lead to high rates of morbidity and mortality. Current research in biomedical engineering at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder focuses on innovative areas such as biomechanics and mechanobiology;Ìýmedical devices;Ìýimaging and diagnostics;Ìýand therapeutics. Our goal is to create technology—drugs and devices—to treat these injuries and illnesses safely and effectively.
