UCLA Biomedical Engineering Dept. | |
| Because Biomedical Engineering will be to the 21st Century what Electronics and Computers were to the 20th Century. The multidisciplinary field of Biomedical Engineering integrates engineering and the life sciences that include education, research, and service activities as its focal points. This integration provides unique opportunities for the application of science and technology to the problems of healthcare and biology. | ||

Tissue Engieering Program at UCLA | |
| Tissue
engineering is the development and manipulation of laboratory-grown
molecules, cells, tissues, or organs to replace or support the function
of defective or injured body parts. Its study and applications cross
numerous medical and technical specialties. Tissue engineers in
the United States and abroad have set out to grow virtually every
type of human tissue – liver, bone, muscle, cartilage, blood
vessels, heart muscles, pancreatic islets, and more. |
