Biomedical Engineering News
BME 50 - The Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering at USC Viterbi and Keck celebrated 50 years of excellence and innovation with a two-day gathering
Researchers analyzed biomarkers that could help psychiatrists identify at-risk individuals earlier and more objectively, supplementing existing self-report surveys and clinical interviews
BME50 - A USC Viterbi bioengineer is building digital tumors, cell by cell, with a goal that could change how oncologists treat breast cancer: knowing in advance which patients immunotherapy will actually help.
BME50 - At the Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering's 50th anniversary symposium, four researchers showed how far a device can travel: from a laser cutter in a campus lab to a clinical trial, from a lollipop to a diagnostic tool, from a blind eye to restored vision.
BME50 - A USC neurosurgeon and engineer argues that the tools to monitor the brain cheaply and without surgery are within reach - and that getting there requires putting engineers where patients actually are.
BME50 - A USC Viterbi bioengineer's implantable device that any researcher can use, modify, and build on is nearly ready for its first animal test. Getting here required reinventing not just the hardware, but how science shares its tools.
Biomedical Engineering at USC
Welcome to the Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering, a joint department of the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the 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.
