Researcher Delivers New Ways to Treat Lung Infections
Respiratory infections are responsible for more than 3.5 million deaths globally each year. BME associate professor Jinho Kim is trying to stem that tide by creating a visually guided, microfluidic drug delivery device.
The mission of the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is to:
- Amplify the natural interdependence of science and engineering
- Maintain comprehensive educational programs
BME offers students broad-based technical expertise grounded in engineering foundations, approaches and techniques for biomedical engineering design and design assessment, command of advanced biomedical design, simulation, analysis and project management tools used in today's clinical practices, effective training to contribute to multidisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams and the ability to take on leadership roles in industrial or clinical environments.
BME also houses modern research laboratories, and fosters an entrepreneurial environment that encourages students and faculty to pursue new technologies from concept through commercialization, while preserving the ideals integral to an institution of higher learning.
