Masters and Ph.D. Programs:

The medical and biotechnology fields are changing rapidly due to emerging technologies. What is demanded are researchers who not only can innovate, but can then convert the results into the next generation of products to advance the health of the world. The key to educating such researchers lies in teaching engineering science, analysis, and design within the context of biology and medicine; and, in integrating biology and engineering within courses and design projects. For more than 40 years, Purdue has been a leader in biomedical engineering education and research, providing significant advances in cardiac care, orthopedic implants, medical imaging systems, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Today, the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering is building on this rich foundation to provide the next generation of engineers and products.
