The Biomedical Engineering faculty specialize in four key research areas: Biophotonics, Biomedical Micro/Nanoscale Systems, Bioimaging and Computation, and Molecular and Cellular Engineering. Biophotonics researchers focus on photomedicine, laser microscopy, optical coherence tomography, medical imaging, and light-based therapies. The Biomedical Micro/Nanoscale Systems group explores molecular engineering, polymer chemistry, molecular motors, MEMS design and fabrication, microsystems for cellular communication studies, and single-molecule protein dynamics analysis. The Biomedical Computation team works on computational biology, processing biomedical signals and images, medical imaging techniques, protein engineering computations, and data mining. Exceptional students wishing to integrate legal studies with BME graduate work can pursue dual degrees through UC Irvine's Program in Law and Graduate Studies (PLGS). This initiative allows participants to follow an integrated curriculum earning both a J.D. from the School of Law and either a Master's or Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering.
