Overview
About the program
Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary field that integrates engineering and biology/medicine.
It uses methods, principles, and tools of engineering, physical sciences, and mathematics to solve problems in the medical and life sciences for the study of living systems; the enhancement and replacement of those systems; the design and construction of systems to measure basic physiological parameters; the development of instruments, materials, and techniques for biological and medical practice; and the development of artificial organs and other medical devices
The Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at the University of Toronto offers facilities for research in biomedical engineering and for educational programs leading to a doctoral degrees.
