Using creative and innovative problem-solving methods, UT Southwestern biomedical engineers employ engineering principles and quantitative science to uncover new biological phenomena, understand human health, and improve treatment outcomes.
Legacy of Excellence
In 1974 UT Southwestern established the first Ph.D. biomedical engineering (BME) program in Texas in collaboration with the engineering schools at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). This rich, long-standing partnership set the groundwork for the establishment of the UT Southwestern Department of Biomedical Engineering in 2021.
Mission-Driven
Our mission to drive programmatic integration in biomedical engineering and address emerging clinical and scientific challenges in medicine and biology is supported by outstanding faculty, motivated trainees, and exceptional clinical and engineering infrastructure. We strive to create innovative systems and methods that will transform the current disease-care system into a genuine health care enterprise.
Collaborative, Integrated Workspace
In 2023, the UT Southwestern Department of Biomedical Engineering moved into the new, 150,000 square-foot, Texas Instruments Biomedical Engineering and Sciences Building – a joint venture with UTD. Faculty members from both institutions will foster collaboration and integration to attain a critical mass of investigators with the complementary expertise needed to improve human health and unravel the fundamental underpinnings of biological processes.
