Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering applies methods and technologies of Engineering to describe, understand and solve issues of medical-biological interest, activating a close interdisciplinary cooperation between engineers, biophysicists, clinicians and biologists.

The Bachelor of Science programme trains future engineers able: 1) to develop new devices, equipment, systems and procedures, for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation; 2) to design and implement new prostheses, artificial organs, life-support systems for acute, elderly and disabled patients; 3) to design and develop advanced and innovative biomaterials; 4) to evaluate the capacity of supporting cellular proliferation in order to rebuild and remodel biological organs and tissues; 5) to manage biomedical technologies in hospitals and health-care institutions.

The Biomedical Engineer finds employment in several professional areas including bio-medicine, pharmaceutics, health safety and regulation, food, biotechnology and environment, engineering consultancy and as a freelance in health-care.
