Convergence Program of Biomedical Engineering and Biomaterials
홈 영문-일반대학원 Department Convergence Program of Biomedical Engineering and Biomaterials Introduction
(admission & consulting professor: Insup Noh, inusp@seoultech.ac.kr)
The Convergence Program of Biomedical Engineering & Biomaterials is an interdisciplinary program that combines the principles of both engineering and medicine. In academic and technological aspects, the areas of biotechnology, medical technology, nano-bio technology, U-health, and diverse sciences and fields of engineering, such as chemical, mechanical, electronic, and computer engineering, are combined into a new academic field of medical science and technology. This convergence program deals with biomateirals, radiological/biological new drugs, drug delivery systems, radiation therapy, micro-fluidics, biosensors, computers, bio-related chemistry, and biomechanics. This program is co-operated by two National Institutes: Seoul National University of Science and Technology (SeoulTech) and The Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences (KIRAMS). By combining the infrastructure of SeoulTech’s engineering and science-oriented system with KIRAMS’s clinical and medical research system, this program will cultivate globally competitive human resources in the areas of healthcare and biomedical technology.
