IIT Hyderabad launches B.Tech. in Biomedical Engineering
IIT Hyderabad has announced a new B.Tech. program in Biomedical Engineering. This will be a unique program that trains engineers in next-generation healthcare technologies and prepares them to work at the frontiers of healthcare innovation in the deep-tech industry or academia.
As an IITH Biomedical engineer, one can expect to be trained to:
- Design medical devices
- Develop 3D tissue imagers
- Analyze large volumes of healthcare data
- Recognize patterns in health and disease
- Simulate and predict the spread of epidemics
- Create in-silico brain-spinal systems
- Move prosthetics with thoughts
- 3D print a cornea, bone, or skin
- Develop nanoparticles to fight tumors or destroy them with ultrasound
- Design implants
- Regenerate organs from stem cells
- Create biosensors on a chip
- Model physiological impact
- Craft algorithms that mimic the body and brain
…and much more.
The curriculum is structured around four verticals:
- Bio-imaging and sensing
- Biomechanics
- Biomaterials
- Bio-intelligence / AI
These verticals are built upon a core foundation of training in physiology, anatomy, systems science, mathematics, circuits, instrumentation, mechanics, and algorithms.
The program is inspired by the successful Master’s program in Biomedical Engineering and is enriched by IIT Hyderabad’s extensive research and industry collaborations.
What sets this program apart?
An advanced module focused on medical product design, entrepreneurship, regulatory affairs, and clinical immersion. This core product design and development focus draws heavily from the learnings of the Center for Healthcare Entrepreneurship, managed by the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
