This MS immerses engineers in translational research across neural interfaces, regenerative biomaterials, medical imaging, and biomechanics. Courses in FDA design control, biostatistics, and entrepreneurship intersect with lab rotations at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and Feinberg School clinics. Optional clinical immersion lets students shadow surgeons to spot unmet device needs, seeding capstone projects that routinely spin out into NSF I-Corps startups.
