The doctoral and master's degrees in biomedical engineering share one graduate field that has faculty from many Ithaca colleges plus the medical college and the New York City tech campus. The goal is to train leaders who improve human health through quantitative analysis and design.
Faculty research is grouped into seven themes, including biomechanics, imaging and instrumentation, drug delivery, cellular engineering, systems and synthetic biology, tissue engineering and engineering education research. Many projects involve clinical or translational partners at the veterinary college, the medical college and an orthopedic hospital, and students receive career development support alongside their research.
Prospective applicants should check with the graduate field office and the Cornell Graduate School about admission requirements, funding and application timelines, because this catalog entry concentrates on the academic content and milestones of the degree rather than on costs or deadlines.
