HEALTHCARE

Healthcare is the largest industry in the world, responding to the needs of millions of people. The United States is at the forefront of this global industry, leading the way in clinical research, training and practice. The field is overflowing with opportunities and challenges, from the application of new technologies to the control of accelerating costs. NYU-Poly prepares its students for careers in the healthcare fields on several fronts. In biomolecular sciences, students perform basic research in virus detection and cancer treatment. In chemical engineering and electrical engineering, students investigate new drug delivery techniques and implantable microdevices (e.g., detecting the onset of epileptic seizures or viruses in the blood).
