About Biomedical Engineering in New Jersey Institute of Technology

Biomedical Engineering combines the study of fundamental biological and physiological processes and engineering to tackle health care challenges such as paralysis, muscular degeneration and traumatic brain injury, as well as an understanding of brain connectivity.

They are dogged researchers, familiar with the relevant medical literature in their area of study, and strong designers who bring their own ideas to the table. They combine the passion to alleviate suffering and improve peoples’ daily lives with the discipline to put those ideas to the test in well-designed experiments. They are active listeners and creative thinkers who like to solve problems in medical environments.
