Introducing BSc Biomedical Sciences
It looks at the molecular, cellular, organ and system levels, both in health and disease.
Biomedical scientists integrate the knowledge they gain from research, across a range of related disciplines, and apply it to the analysis of disease mechanisms..
International Bachelor of Arts (iBA) and International Bachelor of Science (iBSc) degrees follow the same structure as the BA and BSc, but fold in additional language courses, internationally-oriented courses, and an international exchange (typically completed in your third year)..
This iBSc, offered by the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering is designed to introduce medical students to the basic physical principles and techniques involved in the technology employed in health care.
All of our lecturers are involved in research and you will be taught by experts in their fields. 90% of our students are satisfied with teaching in BSc Biomedical Sciences (National Student Survey, 2020).
You will learn about the systems that underpin all living organisms from a cellular, tissue, organ and whole body perspective.
The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences (IBSC) Program is co-lead by Dr.
Russell Main, associate professor of basic medical sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine, who holds a joint appointment in the Weldon School, and Dr.
Young Kim, associate professor of biomedical engineering.
Compared to most doctoral programs, the IBSC Program stands out for several reasons.
For one, the linkage between Purdue Veterinary Medicine and the Weldon School is a major advantage for students.
Secondly, it is open to students from varied backgrounds, which fosters a stimulating exchange of ideas and expertise.
