Researchers working in biomedical design invent new technologies for life sciences research and clinical applications. Bioengineers are helping to translate advances in the life sciences into devices that directly impact human welfare and the future of scientific research.

Research projects at Stanford include:

Neural prosthetic systems
Development of cellular-microelectrode hybrid biosensors
Synthetic bone materials for fracture fixation
Micro-Electrical-Mechanical (MEMS) devices
Microfluidic devices
Computer-assisted surgical navigation
Novel drug delivery systems
