The Biomedical Sciences Doctoral Track of Biomedical Engineering is aimed at training biomedical scientists with an interest in biomedical engineering. This training program will be administered jointly between the School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) and the Weldon School of BME as a component of the SVM Interdisciplinary Graduate Program. This unique track will fill a need on campus for a medically-oriented program for scientists who wish to undertake careers in such areas as implantable medical devices, natural biomaterials, tissue engineered therapies, drug delivery strategies, and diagnostic sensors.
