生物医学工程哲学博士-生物力学

生物力学是一个广泛的领域，涵盖了从亚细胞水平上的物质运输的热力学到运动成绩的各个主题。犹他大学的教职人员在以下领域进行生物力学研究：感觉，运动的平衡和控制，骨科生物力学，骨骼，植入物，重建手术，动物推进，飞行和游泳，计算生物力学，肌肉，韧带，软骨，血流，运动生物力学，人体工学，仿生机器人技术，虚拟现实，假肢和假肢，假肢，超声热疗，灌注和运输以及其他几个领域。通过提供将力学基本原理应用于生物系统和/或生物医学设备的培训，生物力学学科旨在支持这些研究领域。
Biomechanics is a broad field directed at applying the principles of engineering mechanics, across multiple length scales, to the study of biology and medicine. Topics in biomechanics range from understanding the role of stress in cytoskeleton dynamics as related to cell growth, migration, and adhesion to establishing patient-specific modeling techniques to predict in vivo biomechanical loading environments. The University of Utah has faculty conducting biomechanics research in areas such as: molecular biomechanics, cellular biophysics, cell mechanotransduction, computational biomechanics, hemodynamics, mechanobiology, medical device design, soft tissue mechanics (arteries, cartilage, ligaments), ocular biomechanics, orthopedic biomechanics, cardiovascular biomechanics, tissue engineering, and traumatic brain injury. Given the broad range of biomechanics research at the University of Utah, with faculty spanning numerous departments there exist ample collaborative opportunities and interdisciplinary projects with faculty in the College of Engineering, College of Science, Huntsman Cancer Institute, School of Medicine, and the Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute. The Biomechanics track aims to provide students with a strong quantitative foundation in engineering mechanics, physiology, and medicine that will serve them equally well for careers in both academia or industry.
