Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering - Cardiovascular Engineering

Cardiovascular engineering is a discipline which covers a wide range of topics related to function of the cardiovascular system, mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases, and their treatment. Cardiovascular engineering includes basic science and translational to clinical use and spans the spectrum from the molecular scale to the complete body. Research in cardiovascular engineering addresses some of the most basic questions of how cells, organs, and the body function. The research also seeks to develop diagnostic approaches, interventions, and biomedical devices that have profound impact on treatment of patients with cardiac diseases. Despite dramatic improvements in clinical diagnosis and care, cardiovascular diseases remain the leading causes of death in developed countries. Research in cardiovascular engineering makes use of the most advanced technologies in areas such as molecular and cellular biology, bioinstrumentation, imaging across many modalities, signal and image processing, machine learning, mathematical simulation and modeling, and all aspects of computer technology. As a result of this diversity of biomedical and technical research, students with graduate training in cardiovascular engineering receive a broad education in physiology, cardiac diseases and biomedical technology. The graduates will be extremely well equipped for careers in academia and industry. The program makes use of background courses from several departments as well as specialized training in the discipline through both courses and extensive laboratory experiences. Because of the outstanding research emphasis on cardiovascular engineering at Utah, there also exist rich opportunities for interaction with a wide range of experts in the field as well as involvement in interdisciplinary projects within teams of related researchers and students.
