IBSc

Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences Program

The IBSc Ph.D. program offers an interdisciplinary path that brings together biomedical engineering, medical sciences, pathobiology, and veterinary clinical sciences. Through a 90-credit curriculum of advanced coursework, research, and publication milestones, students build a personalized foundation for becoming independent leaders in biomedical innovation.

This unique Ph.D. program provides a medically-oriented program for scientists who wish to work in such areas as implantable medical devices, biomaterials, drug delivery strategies, diagnostic sensors, and especially engineered physiological systems (EPS) (e.g. organ on a chip) and bioimaging technologies (BIT). This program emphasizes novel collaborative training opportunities for our students by interfacing engineers, scientists, and clinicians in the Weldon School for Biomedical Engineering and the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine.
