Biomedical Engineering
Health Devices and Medical Materials
SJSU bioengineers create devices and interventions aimed at the full spectrum of serious
illness, from cardiovascular disease to preterm infant lactation issues. This requires
significant research infrastructure, from understanding fluid flow patterns to physical
improvement of materials for better integration with host tissue. Researchers collaborate
with industry partners and often involve caregivers and community members in holistic,
user-focused design processes. Below is a rotating selection of our standout investigators in these areas.
