Description:
Training in Bioengineering Research and Technology Development in Cardiovascular and Cardiopulmonary Health and Disease.

This novel bioengineering predoctoral training program in cardiopulmonary science and technology is supported through a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) T32 Graduate Research Training Grant. It takes advantage of UC San Diego's leadership as a top-ranked bioengineering doctoral program focused on basic research and technology development together with world-leading basic and clinical science in cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary disease and healthcare.

Trainees receive interdisciplinary, co-mentored training to apply four key technology themes to problems in cardiac, vascular, blood, and lung health. The themes are:

-biomechanics and mechanobiology;

-biomaterials, cell and tissue engineering;

-computational and systems biology;

-and imaging and biophotonics.

Engineering approaches at the interfaces between these four areas will be applied to research that includes new areas such as pulmonary hypertension, remote monitoring, heart valve and congenital heart diseases, neurovascular injury, metabolic diseases, and infectious and microvascular disease.

This training program aligns with its participating departments and graduate programs in the belief that as one community we must work together to embrace and celebrate differences for positive impact, positive change, and for the greater good. This work ultimately impacts society and requires a commitment from us all to be change-makers. Specifically, this training program aligns with the NIH commitment to the value of enhancing trainee equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) through proactive outreach, recruitment, retention, and advancement with the goal of impacting the biomedical research field, locally and more broadly.

Information on the Admissions process, eligibility criteria, and training requirements is available on the program website.
