Letter from the Chair

Knowledge of the basic physical principles of living systems, from microbes to plants and animals, and the applications of engineering to biology and medicine, is growing at an unprecedented rate.

We are at a special moment at the intersection of science, technology and medicine. It is the goal of Stanford Bioengineering for faculty, students and postdocs to work together to lead new scientific discovery and to develop new bioengineering technologies and biomedical tools and therapies that benefit the global community.

- Norbert Pelc, professor and department chair
