Biomedical engineers conduct research across traditional educational boundaries to develop solutions for a myriad of medical problems ranging from tissue engineering to imaging. Many disciplines are involved in biomedical engineering including math, biology, physics, chemistry, computers, genetics, biomechanics, electrical engineering. Biomedical engineering solutions include medical imaging systems such as MRI and CAT scanners, prosthetic devices and tissue grafts, drug delivery systems and cancer treatments. Demonstrations at KTU will include DNA extraction and the fabrication of scaffolding materials for tissue engineering; to talk about the importance of DNA and how one may conceptually regenerate tissues.
The Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering & Sciences (VT-WFU SBES) is a joint graduate program that was formed in 2003 to bring together three prestigious academic institutions: the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech, the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. The VT-WFU Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) club is a BMES chapter that was founded to help bridge the gap between Virginia Tech and Wake Forest and foster communication and collaboration among various research groups. Our mission is to encourage the development, dissemination, integration, and utilization of knowledge in biomedical engineering, as well as to enhance interaction within the scientific community.
