A student demonstrating the measurement of human movement
Graduate
Biomaterials Specialization
Biomaterials engineers must develop new materials or manufacturing techniques for implants and devices, develop new sensors to measure physical and chemical properties in tissues and implants, and assess biocompatibility. For these applications, the focus is on the interaction of biological tissues and fluids with synthetic surfaces. This area requires proficiency in cell and molecular biology as well as materials science.
