Collaboration [President´s Message]

Biomedical engineering is a discipline that advances knowledge in engineering, biology, and medicine; improves human health; and enhances human lives through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate engineering with the biomedical sciences and clinical medicine. A unique feature of biomedical engineering is its close integration of engineering with biomedicine. On the one hand, it is an engineering discipline, so engineering innovations lead to advances in the field. On the other hand, the unique features of biological systems and medical needs drive the development of new theory, methods, devices, and materials.
