What is Biomedical Engineering?

Biomedical engineers apply the principles of engineering to the field of human healthcare. The University of Arkansas Department of Biomedical Engineering, which was established in 2012, has already made an impact on this relatively new field.  Biomedical engineering researchers possess technical expertise in biomechanics and mechanobiology, biomaterials, biomedical optics and imaging, cell and tissue engineering and molecular engineering. Their recent research and development efforts are significantly impacting therapeutics and diagnostics in cancer, neuroengineering, cardiovascular engineering, regenerative medicine and orthopedics.
