Mestrado em Engenharia Biomédica

The graduate program in biomedical engineering (BME) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison offers unique opportunities for students in this emerging field. Collectively, our faculty has expertise in tissue engineering/biomaterials, imaging, biomechanics, neuro-engineering, and systems biology, where the common thread among these disciplines is the application of new technologies and approaches to solve problems in human health.

In these efforts our faculty members frequently work together and also in collaboration with researchers and clinicians in the UW medical school. Our research programs are enhanced through numerous core facilities, offering a wide range of diverse services, including molecular and biochemical analysis, high throughput computing, small animal and medical imaging, electron and optical microscopy imaging, and flow cytometry.

Our students can tailor their coursework to their research interests, while also acquiring knowledge across several areas in BME. This combination of research opportunities and customizable plan of study well-positions are students for the next stage of their careers.

We are a thriving, top-ranked college in Madison, Wisconsin—one of the most fantastic cities in the country. We think boldly and act confidently, not only as engineers, but as engaged citizens. As an engineering community, we value unique perspectives, we foster respect and inclusivity, and we work together to bring new ideas to life. Building on a heritage of impact, we develop the leaders, knowledge and technologies that improve lives now and create a better future. Underlying all of our efforts is the strength of one of the top research universities in the world.

Our engineering disciplines reflect not only our history, but also a tremendous opportunity: Where others see obstacles, we see the potential for innovation and an ability to make a difference with solutions that matter.

Our faculty have strong support structures for collaborating across disciplinary boundaries—and as a result, they accomplish great things. Our college plays a major role in UW-Madison’s consistently high national ranking for research expenditures, as well as the number of patents filed through the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), one of the oldest university technology-transfer offices in the nation. We are key drivers of economic and social progress: Through Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, and other endeavors such as spin-off companies and work directly with industry partners, the fruits of our research extend into businesses and industries worldwide.
