Research Areas

  • Picture of Biomechanics

    Biomechanics: The field of study of mechanics of biological systems and living organisms. Biomechanics is studied on multiple levels, from nano-scale molecular interactions between proteins all the way up to whole body (organism) dynamics.

  • Picture of Biomedical Optics

    Biomedical Optics: Biomedical Optics focuses on the design and application of advanced optical techniques to solve pressing problems in medicine and biology.

  • Picture of Cell and Tissue Engineering

    Cell and Tissue Engineering: One of the most exciting areas in biomedical engineering is tissue engineering, the ability to generate living tissue ex vivo for replacement or therapeutic applications through materials development, and genetic engineering.

  • Picture of Medical Imaging

    Medical Imaging: One of the longest standing BME fields of endeavor at the University of Rochester. Medical Imaging covers a broad scope of hardware and software development.

  • Picture of Neuroengineering

    Neuroengineering: The combination of quantitative method, the physical sciences, and the biological sciences has provided remarkable contributions to our understanding of biomedical phenomena, including pathologic processes.
