The Bioengineering Community
We are–and have always been–a vibrant community of curious, creative engineers, all committed to improving human life in a multitude of ways.
A tight-knit community with far-reaching impact.
See how our bioengineering brilliance is benefitting our local, regional, and global community.
Making Philadelphia Pandemic-fighting Powerhouse
The bioengineering researchers at One uCity Square in West Philadelphia are developing technologies that can fight future pandemics, and cementing our city’s position as a top life sciences market.
Taking Ivy-League Innovation Across the World
You’ll find our faculty in the pages of renowned research publications. You can also find them leading bioengineering students around the world as they use their skills to provide sanitation infrastructure, prosthetic devices, computing support and meet other critical needs in areas that need it most.
A more accessible approach to neurological disorders
Associate Professor in Bioengineering and NSF CAREER Award winner Flavia Vitale develops devices that help people living with brain disorders, making innovative materials and fabrication methods to make diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation more accessible and affordable.
Local opportunities and global transformation.
Our local service programs give Penn bioengineers the chance to apply their knowledge right here in Philadelphia by teaching science skills to middle school students, conducting hands-on research in regional high schools, and more. And our Global Biomedical Service Program takes them across the world, so they can use their science and engineering skills to address critical needs in the countries that need it most.
