By blending life sciences with engineering concepts, biomedical engineers address the complex healthcare challenges of today, from biocompatible implants to advanced stem cell applications.

When his employer solicited new medical device ideas, Nick Desantis ’12, MS ’18 was ready with a presentation he honed during his master's studies.

EP Instructor Leslie Hamilton and her APL team find new ways to collect and transmit ocean data.

Robert McDonald spent years working as a controls engineer before realizing that his real interest lay elsewhere: in the medical device field.
