Bio Engineering

The Department of Bio-engineering has the enviable opportunity to leverage the depth and breadth of Stanford University’s knowledge and the might of Silicon Valley’s high-tech communities.

Here, the next big breakthroughs are literally just around the corner. The proximity of Stanford’s exceptional schools of engineering and medicine, located just steps from one another, is a rarity among the nation’s top universities. Such proximity makes it possible for students to attend hospital rounds, take engineering classes, conduct research in bio-science labs, and work side-by-side with students and faculty in other disciplines in the course of a given day.

The nearness of Silicon Valley and its remarkable entrepreneurial spirit, business acumen and its funding sources provide a further—many say unbeatable—edge to the researchers of Stanford Bio-engineering.

Building Excellence

The department has quickly risen in the rankings and it now figures among the top ten such programs in the country. The department is training engineers and bio- medical scientists at all levels—undergraduate and graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows.
The undergraduate program, launched only in 2010, provides an opportunity to develop an entirely new curriculum that takes advantage of the strengths of the schools of engineering, humanities and sciences, and medicine to attract and educate a new generation of exceptional students just beginning to chart their careers.
