The offer of the Master's Degree Course in Biomedical Engineering
di Martina D'Onofrio
June 21, 2021 - Combine skills in different fields of engineering – mechanical, electronic, automatic, information technology or materials – with those in the medical and biological fields: it is the role of the biomedical engineer, strongly transdisciplinary professional figure, capable of entering the industrial and service sectors focused on the development or management of technologies, devices and systems for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pathologies and for interaction and collaboration with humans in everyday or working life contexts. This is why the Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma is divided into four paths that allow you to specifically delve into emerging topics: eHealth Systems, Biorobotics and Ergonomics, Clinical Engineering, Nanotechnologies and Bioartificial Systems.
Therefore articulated and distinct possibilities that find perfect correspondence in the research activity carried out within the laboratories, with highly innovative projects and significant results from a scientific and partnership point of view. Above all, the pluriannual stands out collaboration with INAIL in robotics and prosthetics, also grown in the sensor, ergonomics and safety at work sector, as well as a agreement with IBM for technologies at the service of new challenges in the healthcare and life sciences sector. Synergy with the business world is in fact essential for the continuous updating of study plans and research and development objectives, with the possibility for all students to complete an internship in the company during their studies. The added value of the course is the close relationship with the University Hospital and with the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery which ensures ideal conditions for interdisciplinary study and research activities. To prove it again, the high number of projects financed by the European Commission, also in the context of Horizon2020 programme. Among them, some, such as ODIN, very focused on emerging digital technologies of artificial intelligence and robotics and their inclusion in the smart hospitals of the future and other very futuristic ones such as SOMA, which aims to restore somatic sensations to amputees through myoelectrically controlled prostheses and minimally invasive interfaces with the peripheral nervous system based on miniaturized ultrasound probes.
