Advanced healthcare solutions from concept to clinical innovation
BioEngine is a real-world product development and training program, through UCI Applied Innovation, that harnesses the collective creativity of industry and UCI to lead the advancement of innovative healthcare solutions.
We bring together industry and other key stakeholders with diverse resources at UCI including the School of Medicine, Samueli School of Engineering, Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, Beckman Laser Institute and UCI Athletics. Together, we collectively define and develop real-world, near-term solutions to some of the greatest high-tech and med-tech challenges.
Using rigorous coursework and interdisciplinary, team-based experiential learning, BioEngine engages and educates faculty, physicians, postdoctoral fellows, students, and industry – creating the high-impact healthcare innovators of tomorrow.
