Imagine a more efficient pacemaker battery, or a tool to quicken surgery time, or a wearable to track your heart as you begin a new workout. Innovations like these are developed by bioengineers every day.
A partnership between the Flinn Foundation, Arizona State University, and Mayo Clinic will help bioengineers work hand-in-hand with clinicians, patients, and health systems to solve real-world clinical problems.
The Flinn Foundation’s $3.3 million, five-year grant that began in early 2024 will help ASU develop its Division for Medical Engineering, in collaboration with Mayo Clinic. Part of the initiative is a master’s degree program that’s the first of its kind in the state: the Master of Science in Innovations in Medical and Patient Care Technologies, or IMPACT MS.
Applications are being accepted through Friday, June 13.
