Biomedical Engineering at Notre Dame




	As its name implies, biomedical engineering focuses on solving complex medical problems. Specialty areas within biomedical engineering include biomechanics, the study of motion and devices in the body; biomaterials, which includes living tissue as well as synthetic materials for use in implants; and bioinstrumentation, the development of electronics and measurement devices for diagnostic and treatment applications.
