Biomedical Engineering Initiative

The Biomedical Engineering Initiative represents a joint venture between the College of Medicine and College or Engineering. This initiative is a natural extension of the current biomedical engineering expertise present at USF, and will serve and enhance the development of the large cluster of more about 300 businesses that manufacture medical products in the region. The Initiative is designed to leverage the strengths of the region's related enterprise to create innovative and novel solutions, technologies and products that address current societal needs and improve the quality of life for Florida's citizens.

Research programs in the following areas are being pursued:

• Medical Imaging and Analysis of Biomedical Signals
• Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
• Molecular Delivery and Cell and Tissue Repair
• Advanced Materials and Manufacturing
• Cardiovascular Battlefield Injury Diagnostic & Treatment Sensor and MEMS Technology Development

Ultimately, the objective of this initiative is to encourage both instructional and research collaboration, support true interdisciplinary work and encourage the translation of research to commercial application that benefits all of society.
