Research
Research is the lifeblood of modern medicine, so IEM aims to help teams of medical and engineering researchers take their ideas to the next level. That level may require center-level funding (see the Center Accelerator), translational expertise (see Clinician Engagement), and/or connection to the University's amazing resources for high-level research.
IEM has helped secure more than $125M of research funding and has connected more than 55 clinicians with support for turning their ideas into marketable realities. Check out our Research Support pages and contact us with your great "engineering in medicine" ideas.
CENTER ACCELERATOR PROGRAM
The Center Accelerator helps multi-disciplinary medical and engineering teams prepare and apply for center-level funding (> $1M/year in direct costs) to address significant medical challenges.
