Message from the Chairs

Our academic Joint Program in Biomedical Engineering is a collaboration of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, the University of Memphis, and their partnering entities.

From its inception in 1996, the Joint Program has had annual enrollments of 60 or more fully supported graduate research assistants.

We offer three kinds of graduate degrees in biomedical engineering:

• M.S. degree based on a research project
• M.S. degree based on a research thesis
• Ph.D. degree based on a doctoral dissertation

The research specialties of our faculty include:

• biosensors and electrophysiology
• biomechanics
• biomaterials and regenerative technology
• cellular biomechancial responses
