Welcome to the Biomedical Engineering program at Delaware!

Biomedical engineering applies fundamental engineering principles to the study of biology, medicine and health. Our undergraduate program provides a broad background in chemical, mechanical, materials science and electrical engineering, and it prepares students for careers in biomedical research with a quantitative engineering emphasis. It is also designed to provide students with sufficient coursework for advanced training at graduate, medical or physical therapy schools or in other allied health professions. Our graduate program builds upon the established biomedical research strength at the University and trains future generations of researchers and professionals who will play a key role in multi- and interdisciplinary teams that bridge the gap between engineering and the biological sciences.

Kristi Kiick inducted into American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering College of Fellows

An internationally known scholar in the area of biomaterials design, synthesis and characterization, Dr. Kiick uses protein engineering methods to create entirely new classes of materials of interest for tissue engineering and drug delivery.

National Academy of Engineering elects UD's Babatunde Ogunnaike

A University of Delaware engineering professor noted for his contributions to advances in process systems, process engineering practice and systems engineering education has been elected to the prestigious National Academy of Engineering (NAE).

Darrin Pochan named American Physical Society fellow

Darrin Pochan, professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Delaware, has been recognized for his expertise in developing new nanostructures and functional materials through the assembly of soft materials like polymers and proteins. These new materials can be designed to have biomedical applications in drug therapy or tissue regeneration.
