Dear Friends, The Bioengineering Department is the newest department at Northeastern University. Building on the success of its PhD Program, BioE added BS and MS Degree Programs in the 2015 – 2016 academic year. We are now in an era of rapid growth with plans to double our faculty over the next two years and continue to increase as our student body expands. Our research into the fundamentals of cell and tissue engineering, biomedical imaging and signal processing, biomechanics and biocomputing is providing a foundation on which a vibrant Bioengineering community is developing—a community that spans the entire University. With over 80 affiliated faculty, the Bioengineering Department offers research opportunities that encompass the entire breadth of Biological and Biomedical Engineering. Our co-op program is working with companies across the sector to provide BioE students with the broad range of opportunities within the Boston Biotech industry and beyond. Through the co-op program, we identify opportunities that make it possible for our students to work in areas that most excite them. This Scholarship Report provides a window into the activities of the Bioengineering faculty and the energy and breadth of their explorations. Sincerely, Lee Makowski Chair of Bioengineering l.makowski@northeastern.edu
