Research

Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin is redefining what is possible at the intersection of engineering, medicine and discovery. Our research enterprise is built for impact, powered by world-class faculty, ambitious graduate students and deep collaborations with clinicians and industry leaders.

As part of the Cockrell School of Engineering—which is ranked among the top engineering schools in the nation and #1 in Texas—Texas BME offers an environment where bold ideas move quickly from concept to clinic.

We compete at the highest level across biomaterials, imaging, computational biomedical engineering, drug delivery, biosensors and neuroengineering. Our faculty’s large-scale, federally funded initiatives translate fundamental discoveries into technologies that improve health care for Texans and the world. From AI-driven cancer modeling and digital twins to advanced hydrogels and next-generation medical devices.

Our graduate students work in highly collaborative labs with full funding, access to state-of-the-art facilities and partnerships that span Dell Medical School, UT research centers and the Texas Advanced Computing Center.

For our faculty, we offer a bold, research-forward environment with strong institutional investment and a culture that values interdisciplinary scholarship.

And for our industry partners, we provide agile collaboration, translational expertise and a pipeline of exceptional Longhorn talent.
