Welcome to the Department of Biomedical Engineering at
The University of Texas
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center
 

We are one of 10 basic science departments at M. D. Anderson and one of three components of The University of Texas Inter-Institutional Department of Biomedical Engineering (The University of Texas Health Science Center and The University of Texas at Austin sister institutions are the other two components.). 

Our mission is to develop clinically translatable solutions for human health by training the next generation of biomedical engineers, cultivating leaders and nurturing the integration of science, engineering and medicine in a discovery-centered environment and to establish M. D. Anderson as a national institution of distinction in Making Cancer History

Our vision is to be the premier biomedical engineering platform in the world, based on the excellence of our people, our innovative multidisciplinary and enabling research and our discovery-centered educational programs. We will pioneer the transfer of biomedical engineering research into applications that will advance and improve health care throughout Texas and the world.
