See your advisor and select an elective that is mutually agreeable. Biochemical engineering has a lot to do with process engineering and is factory-oriented to a large degree. We co-publish our papers with medical people. We do our animal experiments at the medical center. Choose URL's to locate the 1998 annual meeting, group 15.
Sessions are typically all biomedical or all biochemical.
The artificial organs imaging, diagnostics, and medical device industries are surprisingly large, each certainly in the billions of dollars range, and the tissue engineering industry is growing rapidly. We believe that the 21st century will see a major change in the health care delivery system with diminished responsibility on physicians and much more responsibility on technologists many of whom may be biomedical engineers. What area of biomedical engineering attracts you. There are some areas in which others put more emphasis than we do and others at which we excel. I am interested in cellular engineering.
