Healthcare Materials Engineering - Specialization

The candidates taking the Healthcare Materials Engineering specialization will be particularly adept at developing new materials and applying them in new and better health technology products. The approach is by having a deep knowledge of methods for analyzing and controlling the properties of the materials. Examples of candidates' tasks in companies include development, validation and quality assurance of medical devices such as urinary tract catheters, surgical implants, and future cell-based analysis and treatment products. Candidates will be experts in materials chemistry for healthcare products and have a very good understanding of these materials interaction with tissue and organisms.
