Researcher Envisions Many Uses for Small Biosensors
Picture yourself with an aortic aneurysm, a weak spot in the vessel that bulges outward and is in danger of bursting. Your doctor has fixed it with a stent, which is like sealing off the weak spot and putting in a new, stronger channel. But what if the stent leaks? That's a problem that Keat Ghee Ong, an assistant professor in the biomedical engineering department, is addressing.

About Biomedical Engineering at Michigan Tech

Biomedical engineering advances knowledge and develops new devices at the interface of engineering, biology, and medicine. It improves human health through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice. The integration of biology with engineering is of increasing importance in all engineering disciplines.

Our program emphasizes research and education in tissue regeneration, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and physiological measurements. Our PhD graduates are prepared to undertake postdoctoral research; to succeed in academia, government, and industry; and to grow into positions of leadership.

Graduate students can work with major analytical facilities throughout campus, including electron microscopy, surface analysis instrumentation, nanoindenters, X-ray analysis, and rheometry instrumentation. Collaboration with staff at Portage Health, Marquette General Hospital, and the Upper Peninsula Health Education Corporation allows our students to explore the rural health-care applications of biomedical engineering.

Faculty and students collaborate with industrial and clinical partners. In addition, some are developing small businesses with the novel technologies developed through their research.
