Bioengineering

 

Bioengineering Graduate Programs

Our faculty members work closely with clinicians, other engineers and scientists. Many of our projects involve other disciplines — engineering and medicine or engineering and material science. These projects offer opportunities for:

  • Creative problem solving
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Intellectual property generation

Graduate Degrees

Pursue a career as a physician scientist. Medical students with engineering backgrounds can enroll in the dual-degree M.D./Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering program.

The College of Engineering also offers the following graduate options:

Research

Partner with outstanding faculty. Work with state-of-the-art equipment in all of our laboratories.

Our research on spine and joint mechanics has drawn international attention. Faculty work with industry sponsors in UToledo's NSF-funded Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovations (CDMI) and the Engineering Center for Orthopaedic Research Excellence (E-CORE), a joint research center with the College of Medicine and Life Science.

In addition, our faculty have broad expertise covering a wide-range of research areas in Bioengineering.
