This unique Ph.D. program provides a medically-oriented program for scientists who wish to work in such areas as implantable medical devices, biomaterials, drug delivery strategies, diagnostic sensors, and especially engineered physiological systems (EPS) (e.g. organ on a chip) and bioimaging technologies (BIT). This program emphasizes novel collaborative training opportunities for our students by interfacing engineers, scientists, and clinicians in the Weldon School for Biomedical Engineering and the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. IBSC PhD candidates may be awarded degrees in Biomedical Engineering (BME), Basic Medical Sciences (BMS), Comparative Pathobiology (CPB), or Veterinary Clinical Sciences (VCS), reflecting the collaboration between BME and the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine (PVM) in support of the program. The PhD degree can only be awarded by a department in which the primary advisor (or official co-advisor) has an affiliation.
