Our mission is to advance healthcare through
engineering, computation, and medicine.
What We Do
Modern medicine is constrained not by ideas, but by our ability to measure, integrate, and apply complex biological data. Engineering Innovations in Medicine (EIM) is redefining how this data is acquired, analyzed, and used to improve human health. EIM collaborators generate powerful new biological and clinical data, transforming it through AI and advanced modeling, and rapidly translating discovery into diagnostics, therapeutics, and improved healthcare delivery.
Generate New Data
Precision imaging, omics, sensing, organoids, and continuous monitoring.
Compute & Model
AI, machine learning, and large-scale biological computation.
Translate to Impact
Data-driven diagnostics, therapeutics, robotics, and healthcare optimization.
Train Future Leaders
Interdisciplinary education for engineers, physicians, and data scientists.
Impact Areas
Real-world testbeds for discovery, education, and clinical translation in the following impact areas.
Brain Health &
Cognition
Cancer
Menopause & Systems-wide Women’s Health
Education & Training
Interdisciplinary education, clinical immersion, and collaborative mentorship prepare future physician-engineers and data-driven innovators.
