The interdisciplinary graduate program in biomedical engineering combines core coursework with focused areas of proficiency that allow you more in-depth exposure to your areas of particular interest. The program's introductory course is team-taught by biomedical engineering faculty from a range of disciplines and outside lecturers are invited to give students a broad exposure to the field.<br><br>The University's Ph.D. in biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary program that emphasizes a synthesis of biological processes, developing novel instrumentation, or modeling at different scales of biological or ecological systems. Your area of emphasis may include advanced nanosensors and ''lab on a chip'' technology, bioinformatics, or integrated techniques in cancer biology. In the Ph.D. program, you are involved in many aspects of original research, advancing scientific knowledge in specific areas.<br><br>Doctoral students must complete additional requirements including:<br><br> A research rotation<br> Communications course<br> Presentation of work at a national or international scientific meeting<br> A one-credit comprehensive examination consisting of writing and presenting a grant proposal
