Biomedical Engineering applies engineering fundamentals to analyze, alter, or regulate biological processes, aiming to address healthcare challenges. This broad, interdisciplinary field integrates knowledge from chemistry, mechanics, biochemistry, mathematics, cellular biology, and physiology. Our joint biomedical engineering initiative embodies this diversity by connecting graduate studies in Chemical, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering while offering cross-disciplinary learning opportunities. Students from various academic backgrounds collaborate to explore research techniques and professional standards in Biomedical Engineering. Participants can partner with experts across multiple departments including Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Anatomy, Physiology, and Mechanical Engineering. Numerous initiatives also engage cardiovascular and orthopedic surgeons. Significant research occurs at the Human Mobility Research Centre within Kingston General Hospital, with additional studies conducted at Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston and Queen's Schools of Kinesiology and Health Studies.
