Overview

Course overview

Advances in data science and systems modelling have already produced dramatic advances in research, drug development and treatment. Much more is yet to come. The Biomedical Engineering program at University of Virginia is known throughout the world for being at the forefront of this revolution. As a result, our students have an unprecedented opportunity to master new computational approaches and work with the faculty who are creating them. In our labs, you will find BME students helping to identify biomarkers for cancer, contributing to models for building human tissue and applying computational approaches to advancing the treatment of disease in scores of ways.

The UVA Biomedical Engineering program starts with an advantage that most programs cannot hope to equal: co-location with the UVA School of Medicine, the UVA School of Nursing and the UVA Medical Center. Proximity has a pervasive impact on every aspect of our students’ education, especially outside the classroom.

Engineers learn by doing. That is one reason why BME at UVA emphasizes research experiences and design from the first year of the program. By the time our students graduate, they have hands-on experience identifying a clinical problem and working in teams to create a workable solution. One of the highlights is the year-long Ideas Lab, where students practice design thinking approaches and master computational and experimental approaches for measuring and analyzing real medical data at multiple scales.
