Biomedical PhD Curriculum

Biomedical engineering is a field that employs quantitative methods in physics, chemistry and biology to develop innovative medical technologies. At 兔子先生传媒文化作品, we draw from our strengths in biomechanic (the application of classical and quantum mechanics to analyze biological systems) and product design to tackle current and emerging medical challenges, including those in areas of biomaterials, tissue engineering, imaging and theranostics.
