CBME
The Center for Biomedical Engineering is dedicated to the creation of materials, devices and knowledge for the advancement of health care and biomedicine.
It is an interdisciplinary center that coordinates research activities in biomedical engineering at UNM. We are a focal point for future educational activities in biomedical engineering. We serve as a portal for biotech interactions between UNM and National Laboratories, industry partnerships and other educational institutions within New Mexico and outside of New Mexico.
Objectives of the Center for Biomedical Engineering
The broad aim of the Center is to improve the educational, R&D, and economic climate in New Mexico by growing a significant Biomedical Engineering research and educational program at UNM. The CBME will be a nucleus for future interdisciplinary academic programs in biomedical engineering for New Mexicans, and will actively promote and assist inclusion of Hispanic and Native American students at UNM, two groups which comprise a large percentage of UNM's total student population. We will develop strategic partnerships with the National Labs and other New Mexican, U.S., and non-U.S. educational institutions.
