Joint Doctoral Training Program in Biomedical Engineering

In June of 2004, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences joined with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to launch our newest program, the Joint Doctoral Training Program in Biomedical Engineering. This interdisciplinary program is looking for students who are interested in developing a comprehensive understanding of biomedical and engineering principles that can then be to applied to state-of-the-art research projects in areas such as:

Biomedical Engineering is one of the fastest growing engineering disciplines and, as is widely appreciated, research in all areas of medicine is becoming increasingly interdependent with advances in engineering- and information-intensive technologies. The importance of this area has been recognized by the National Institutes of Health, with the formation of their newest institute, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, and by private foundations such as the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Looking into the future, these institutions project an increasing demand for scientists who have strong backgrounds that bridge biomedical and engineering disciplines. By combining the strengths of both universities, UMDNJ and NJIT have created a doctoral program to train these future scientists.
