Research Field and Focus
Research
There are two research tracks in the International Ph.D. Program in Biomedical Engineering.
- The first track, Molecular Biomedical Engineering (MBE), aims to implement basic biomedical research to practical applications. MBE combines fields of medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, and photonics to equip students with the knowledge for biomedical applications. Novel optoelectronic and microelectronic techniques are used for highly sophisticated biological and medical research topics. Different scales of complexity, ranging from the molecular level to the whole organism, are covered in this area. Specific research topics include: development and application of biochips, nanotechnology, micro-electro-mechanical systems, biomedical control and measurement of nano-molecules, biomaterials, stem cells and tissue engineering, drug delivery and release, cancer gene therapy, molecular imaging in drugs, synthesis of lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, biomedical and molecular toxicology, epidemiology, and biomedical informatics.
- The second track, Medical Physics (MP), concentrates on comprehensive applications of knowledge from ultrasound, magnetic resonant imaging, nuclear sciences in medicine, which includes medical imaging, radiation physics, radiation biology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy, molecular imaging and pharmaceutics in cancer therapy. We have strong collaborative relationships with domestic and foreign universities and research hospitals and aim at training experts who possess professional knowledge in medical physics and biomedical engineering techniques.
