Engineer-Physician Collaboration Model Aids Biophotonics in Medicine

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A new model focusing on translational research draws on the collective expertise of students, engineers and practicing physicians, encouraging collaboration from the earliest stages of the research.

Dr. Gregory P. Crawford, Brown University, and Dr. Gregory D. Jay, Brown University and Rhode Island Hospital

The direct application of engineering to medicine is a notable trend of the past decade. Noninvasive diagnostic technologies, high-resolution imaging, advanced materials implants and controlled-release drug delivery systems are just a few examples of innovations arising from the application of the principles of electrical, mechanical, computer, chemical and materials engineering to problems in medicine. Approaches that combine the fundamental aspects of engineering with medicine are likely to yield a wealth of new directions for research and development; ultimately, these methods will lead...Read full article
