Obtain a PhD in Bioengineering from Temple University and engage in groundbreaking research to become a recognized authority in the discipline. Gain the skills to discover novel findings, create innovative solutions, or advance the frontiers of bioengineering knowledge. This program focuses intensely on translational medicine, consistently striving to move evidence-based discoveries through clinical trials and, when validated, into practical medical applications. You can investigate diverse research domains, centered on breakthroughs in biological imaging, biomaterials and injury biomechanics, neuroengineering, stem cell and cancer-cell engineering, biomaterial synthesis and properties, precision drug delivery, tissue regeneration, and beyond. PhD students have conducted research alongside partners at Temple's Fox Chase Cancer Center, Katz School of Medicine, Kornberg School of Dentistry, and College of Science and Technology. You'll thrive with access to cutting-edge laboratory resources and the close-knit support of a small engineering department that fosters personalized learning. While most classes and lab sessions are daytime, evening courses are available to fulfill the program's academic requirements.
