>> Narrator: Biomedical engineering.
Here we employ the engineering design process to
explore what it means to be human.
[Music]
We investigate the fundamental biology of
the body, examining how chemicals, electrical
impulses and physical forces interact with
our cells and tissues.
And in doing so, we make scientific discoveries,
identify the basis of disease and begin developing
solutions that will shape human health in
the decades to come.
We entrench ourselves in the clinical ecosystem
to identify medical needs waiting for
technological solutions.
And we work with patients and clinicians to
design, build and test novel therapies, diagnostics
and devices.
[Chuckle]
We carry these technologies through the regulatory
process to prove they are safe and effective.
And we help demonstrate their economic viability
and get them to market.
We become surgeons, doctors, and nurses, using
newly developed therapies, diagnostics and
devices to treat patients and improve quality
of life.
Biomedical engineering: in an arena where
the stakes are high and the results life-altering, we
integrate the basic principles of biology with
the design and optimization tools of engineering to
solve the world’s toughest medical challenges for
the benefit of humanity.
