Georgia Tech and Emory Biomedical Engineering is a true success story in risk-taking and innovation - a visionary partnership between a leading public engineering school and a highly respected private medical school. View some 2016 stats and stories.

True to Wallace H. Coulter’s vision and legacy, our faculty and students work closely with clinicians to not only gain fundamental insights into human health and pathology, but also to translate our research to impact industry and medicine.

We have unique new research initiatives in Pediatric Bioengineering, Immunoengineering and Health Care Robotics that are potentially defining the future of BME and medicine.
