Center for Healthcare Innovation
The Center for Healthcare Innovation supports Stevens faculty- and student-initiated research and educational programs.
Departmental Research
Research in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME)
BME has attained international recognition in drug development, brain machine interfaces and rehabilitative platforms. With modern, well-equipped laboratories for tissue-culture work and state-of-the-art instrumentation including confocal microscopy, PCR, radio-isotope labeling, fluorometry, double-beam spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, high performance liquid chromatography, thermal analysis and mass spectrometry, our students are well equipped to tackle any research challenges in the field.
Research Areas
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.
Tissue Reconstruction
Research in the Wang Tissue Reconstruction Lab focuses on two areas: multifunctional tissue/organ formation and nanomedicine in cancer, among other projects.
Sensorimotor Control
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
McConnell lab is focuses on neuroengineering, electrophysiology, digital image analysis and biomedical devices.
