USC Viterbi Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering at USC

Welcome to the Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering at USC Viterbi School of Engineering.

Since our early roots as an option within electrical engineering in 1963, we have maintained a longstanding tradition of advancing biomedicine through the development and application of novel engineering ideas. Our department, established in 1976, includes over 75 primary and affiliated faculty members that conduct cutting-edge research in a wide variety of areas, including biomedical devices & imaging, cellular & molecular bioengineering, mathematical/computational biosystems, and neuroengineering.
