From a young age, biomechanical engineer Antonia Zaferiou sought to understand the mechanics of the world around her. Today, she is instilling that same love of engineering in school children.
Jinho Kim’s bioengineered donor lungs could address the critical shortage in transplantable organs
The grant will fund vital research to improve quality of life for older adults.
In Dr. Zaferiou’s laboratory, engineering embeds art.
BME assistant professor Ramana Vinjamuri was awarded a prestigious NSF CAREER Award for his work in understanding how the brain controls complex hand movements.
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.
Walking may seem like a simple thing to do—but for people with Parkinson’s disease, it can be very difficult. That's why BME assistant professor George McConnell is trying to help them by improving the accuracy of deep brain stimulation.
A Stevens research team led by BME chair Hongjun Wang unveiled a new advance in chronic-wound care that blends advanced materials and nanotechnology with conventional antibiotics and healing proteins.
The mission of the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is to:
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.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering has attained international recognition for its research in mass spectrometry, nanotechnology and in healthcare and medicine. Faculty and students apply their knowledge and skills to solve critical, real-life challenges.
Research in the Wang Tissue Reconstruction Lab focuses on two areas: multifunctional tissue/organ formation and nanomedicine in cancer, among other projects.
The Vinjamuri Sensorimotor Control Lab conducts leading-edge studies in upper-limb brain-machine interfaces and how the brain controls complex hand movements.
McConnell lab is focuses on neuroengineering, electrophysiology, digital image analysis and biomedical devices.
