The Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering equips students to enhance quality of life by providing innovative solutions to complex medical challenges. Students studying biomedical engineering are at the center of life-changing research, industry networking opportunities, and a nurturing entrepreneurial culture.
Biomedical engineers are making an impact – one life at a time.
Students in their junior and senior years are given the opportunity to focus on specific areas within BME, to study areas of engineering, science, and math in more depth, and to pursue research/design projects.
Our faculty are experts in areas that include:
Engage with world-class faculty, collaborate with OU Health Sciences Center physicians, and innovate in a highly entrepreneurial environment. Create new biotechnologies that advance health!
John Clegg, assistant professor in the Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, contributed to a study recently published in Science Translational Medicine. The study describes the researchers’ development of a technology to improve MRI imaging after traumatic brain injury.
Eight University of Oklahoma faculty have received additional funding to support postdoctoral research and creative activities through the Office of the Vice President for Research and Partnership’s Match Program. This diverse group of researchers from six different OU schools, departments and colleges received a 25 percent match based on the postdoctoral's salary and fringe budgeted for in an externally funded grant for one year.
The Strategic Equipment Investment Program, provided by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Partnerships, has funded five proposals to purchase equipment expected to advance research and creative activities at the University of Oklahoma.
