Biomedical engineering is the bridge between healing and technology. The work can be as subtle as a mathematical analysis of cell physiology or as awe-inspiring as restoring body function through electrical stimulation of the brain. Research led by the faculty in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) continues to produce new methods, measurements, analysis, and design that have a major impact on the diagnosis and treatments related to cancer, heart disease, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis, osteoporosis, etc. In 1997, The Whitaker Foundation approved second-year funding in the amount of $480,124 for the Biomedical Engineering Department's program to "integrate structural and functional analysis of cardiovascular and neural systems at the cellular and molecular levels." This educational and research training program has its focus at the cellular and molecular level. To support this exciting effort, the department has hired several new faculty members whose expertise will add new dimensions to several already strong focus areas. Department
