Student Spotlight
Jennifer Sun, pursuing a PhD in biomedical engineering
I really enjoyed taking Dr. Michael Vahey's Molecular and Cellular Engineering course (and it was his first year teaching it!). I learned so much about vector design, immunotherapy, protein interaction and much more. The course is very informational and practical, without the burden of homework and tests.
Graduate
Students in our fully-funded PhD program graduate prepared to solve health care's most pressing problems through research and scholarship. You'll have the opportunity to work closely with department faculty in their labs, as well as scholars at Washington University in St. Louis' No. 6 ranked School of Medicine.
We focus on six distinct research areas that best serve society's needs and the expertise of our faculty.
Undergraduate
Undergraduates in the Department of Biomedical Engineering graduate prepared to enter medical school, advance their studies in graduate school or become leaders in industry. You'll work with medical and engineering faculty in their labs, assisting with projects such as innovative medical imaging and more efficient drug deliverySenior Design Projects
Each year, senior biomedical engineering students are challenged to identify and solve a pressing health care problem. You'll present your solutions to students and faculty at the department's annual BME Day, which includes presentations, awards and a keynote lecture.
