PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This program will equip students with solid theoretical and systematic professional knowledge in molecular medicine, biomedical engineering, and related fields. Graduates of this program will have the opportunity to undertake independent scientific research, allowing them to understand the current status and future trends of medicine/biomedical engineering, and write and communicate in English.

MAIN RESEARCH FIELDS:

1. Biomedical information

Apply biomedical engineering techniques and methods to collect, analyze and evaluate health-related biomedical information, establish disease risk prediction and early warning models, explore the underlying reasons of disease pathogenesis, and conduct intervention studies.

2. Cell and tissue engineering

Conduct research on various types of stem cell and bioscaffold materials, and learn how to apply tissue engineering and regeneration technologies to acute and chronic injuries and diseases; conduct research using cell engineering and nanomaterial labeling technologies based on modern gene technology; perform in vivo and in vitro cell tracing and monitoring; and develop new sources of stem cells for research and industrialization amplification technologies, including the development of 3D culture and amplification and bioreactor systems.

3. Systematic Biomedical:

Harness biophysical, biochemical, bioinformatic and systems biology approaches to study human aging and major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, and infectious diseases; use cells, tissues, organs to conduct translational medicine research into human disease mechanisms at multiple levels, and develop personalized and precise diagnostic and treatment approaches.

CORE COURSES

Frontiers in Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical Image Analysis, Lecture on Pattern Recognition Front, Advanced Cell Biology and Disease, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

CAREER PROSPECTS

There is a wide spectrum of career paths that can follow from obtaining a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, including but not limited to:

Biomedical Scientist/ResearcherBiomedical scientists and researchers, in both clinical and/or research environments, conduct research that aims to improve human health by carrying out scientific tests to find solutions to medical/clinical problems. They research information that aids in the development of biomedical technology and test products so that they are safe and effective for consumers.

Biomaterials DeveloperBiomedical engineers may develop biomaterials based on either natural living tissue or artificial materials, for use in the human body. Tissue engineering, biomedical implant development, drug delivery and nano implants are all areas that a biomaterials developer may work in. Biomaterials can be used to either repair or replace lost function to the body, or to detect and image disease.

Biomedical Artificial Intelligent (AI) Researcher or Developer AI technology is rewiring many parts of society. How medical/clinical procedures and philosophies will be affected by AI is a thrilling frontier for exploration. A career in this field will involve you not only in science and technology, but also in areas of ethics, finance, and regulation.

Rehabilitation EngineerBiomedical engineers who work in a field dedicated to rehabilitation often work on diverse projects. These can range from mechanical equipment that helps patients regain the ability to walk, to virtual reality systems that aid in limb mobility. Rehabilitation engineers may also create custom solutions based on unique needs or research improvements that can form the basis of a novel rehabilitation technology.

Medical Device/Technology Developer

Medical technology can refer to the hardware and software that help manufacture medical devices, as well as to the technology that is an integral part of those devices. Medical technology professionals with biomedical engineering backgrounds may specialize in bioinstrumentation, or the use of bioelectronic/biomechanical/biochemical instruments to record or transmit physiological information in vivo and/or in vitro.
