Introduction

The aim of this track is initiating the students to the multidisciplinary field of biomedical engineering. First, this requires an introduction to the different disciplines of life sciences (biology, anatomy, biochemistry, etc.). Next, a familiarization with fundamental challenges from the different pillars of biomedical engineering will be provided (bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics, artificial organs, medical imaging, biological systems modeling, etc.). The students will then be able to deploy these skills in order to solve basic problems in biomedical engineering.
