| | UIC - Bioengineering |
 | | The innovative BioEngineering curriculum (bioinformatics, neural engineering, cell and tissue engineering, and chemical, biomolecule, and molecular bioengineering) is a leader in this rapidly growing field that has expanded from the design of dialysis pumps, pacemakers and prosthetics to the not-so-futuristic applications of drug-coated stents for angioplasty and functional neural imaging. |
 | | The UIC Department of BioEngineering has unique resources because of its close affiliation with the clinical and research programs of the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago and the opportunities to intern at major biomedical manufacturers (Abbott, Baxter, Biomet, General Electric, and Siemens, for example) in the Chicago and northwest Indiana areas. |
 | | Bioengineering is increasingly being recognized as a preferred undergraduate major for students pursuing graduate professional degrees. |
