Translational Engineering

Many of the most intractable challenges of our time are too complex to be solved by a single discipline. The Translational Engineering area aims to apply an engineering approach to solve some of the world’s most critical and challenging problems. This highly interdisciplinary focus area leverages expertise from a variety of fields, including computer science, data science, chemistry, biomedical engineering, physics, medicine, and mathematics. Researchers from these broad fields of expertise collaborate to develop new imaging technologies, therapeutic strategies, and products that ultimately promise to solve some of the world’s most complex problems.
