The Bio-Engineering Systems focus area consists of two
educational programs:
-
An
Advanced Studies one-year Course
(1st year toward a PhD or an Advanced Certificate upon
completion).
- A PhD research program (2 to 3 additional years) offered jointly by the collaborating Portuguese universities.
The specific emerging technologies targeted to complement and
enhance the existing Portuguese biosciences and technology
excellence include education and research in: tissue engineering,
biomaterials, computational and synthetic biosystems, drug
development, neuroscience, biomedical devices and technologies,
health and environmental systems, and innovation and leadership
for future bioengineers.
Many top MIT
faculty/researchers are involved including faculty from MIT's School
of Engineering, the Sloan School of Management, the School of Science,
and the School of Humanities Arts and Social Sciences as well as
excellent Portuguese faculty from Instituto Superior Tecnico da Universidade Tecnica de Lisboa (IST), Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT-UNL), Escola de Engenharia da Universidade do Minho (UMINHO), Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra (FCT-UC) and CNC.
