Getting a BME degree opens the door to all sorts of opportunities . Dr. Jeff Ross, BME alumnus and CEO of Miromatrix, a biotechnology company dedicated to bioengineering whole organs My decision to focus on bioengineering in graduate school was driven by the research I had a chance to participate in as an undergraduate . It completely fascinated me that biological processes could be described by equations. Observing a heart surgery in one of my BMEn courses lit my passion for cardiac research. Dr. Anna Grosberg, BME alumna and assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine It’s super rewarding to work on a device that could someday help people and increase their wellbeing. I didn’t think I’d be able to have this kind of industry experience this early in my graduate school career. Claire Kaiser, BME PhD student Completing my PhD opened doors for me to pursue my passion in the research end of R&D at Medtronic. My graduate work also kindled the creative inventor in me and taught me to first define the problem and then to identify the key questions to answer.
