Department Overview:

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at OSU was founded in 2006 following a 35 year history as a research center, and we currently have 31 departmental faculty and over 60 affiliated graduate faculty. Our tradition of excellence in research and education includes a continuously ABET accredited undergraduate program and world class research facilities across the university. The Department is housed within the highly ranked College of Engineering and has very close ties with our many highly ranked health sciences colleges including the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry, and Optometry – all on the same campus. In addition, the combined technical, core, and clinical research facilities of the NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Dorothy M. Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute, the NSF-supported Mathematical Biosciences Institute, the Ohio Supercomputer Center, and an NIH-sponsored Center for Clinical and Translational Science provide unique and comprehensive resources for biomedical engineering research and education at Ohio State.

The College of Engineering strives to be a national leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion. The college engages in and leads significant efforts to increase diversity among the field's future leaders through the office of Diversity, Outreach, and Inclusion (DOI). The DOI office offers a variety of student-centric programming designed to increase self-efficacy and foster community among historically excluded and underrepresented students and provide resources to support our faculty and staff. All faculty are expected to participate in, support, and/or lead these efforts and to contribute to the department's inclusive climate via their work in one of many ways, including but not limited to; teaching, service, mentoring and advising.
