What is Biomedical Engineering like at Carnegie Mellon?
Leveraging on the strengths of Carnegie Mellon in the core engineering and basic sciences, the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) emphasizes close collaborations with partner departments for both research and education. The research emphasizes a balance between applications and basic principles and covers a wide range of topics including mechanics from subcellular structures to organs, processing and analysis of biomedical images, development of materials for tissue regeneration, design of biosensors, and optimization of artificial hearts.
