The Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering equips students to enhance quality of life by providing innovative solutions to complex medical challenges. Students studying biomedical engineering are at the center of life-changing research, industry networking opportunities, and a nurturing entrepreneurial culture.
Biomedical engineers are making an impact – one life at a time.
Students in their junior and senior years are given the opportunity to focus on specific areas within BME, to study areas of engineering, science, and math in more depth, and to pursue research/design projects.
Our faculty are experts in areas that include:
Engage with world-class faculty, collaborate with OU Health Sciences Center physicians, and innovate in a highly entrepreneurial environment. Create new biotechnologies that advance health!
In a study published in the journal Communications Engineering, Chongle Pan, an OU professor of computer science and biomedical engineering, and Penghua Wang, a doctoral student in data science and analytics, detail a machine learning model that dramatically accelerates the manufacturing timeline of monoclonal antibodies.
Marmar Moussa, an assistant professor in the School of Computer Science and Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, has received a distinguished U.S. National Science Foundation CAREER award to develop advanced computational tools that could transform how scientists study disease at the cellular level, particularly in cancer and tissue remodeling.
The University of Oklahoma has announced Wei R. Chen, Ph.D., as director of the Peggy and Charles Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME). He has served as Stephenson Chair and professor of SBME and became its interim director last year.
