Department Overview:

BU is ranked one of the top 50 public universities and is a premier
R1 research university. The University's direct impact on the
regional economy has reached $1.2 billion. The recent $113 million
research award from the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
further catalyzes and fosters knowledge transfer and partnerships
across industries and academia to advance technology development
and innovation in science and engineering, and a $160 million NSF
ENGINE grant helps the university to build ecosystems for science
discovery and technology advancement. The university attracts
outstanding students and award-winning faculty, including 2019
Nobel Laureate Dr. Stanley Whittingham, who are partners in active
discovery. The Department has recently launched a workforce
training program partnered with the School of Management to develop
a Biomanufacturing Project Management Certificate Program funded by
BioMADE. The Department also runs a National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) PREP postdoc and graduate training
program.

The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department is particularly strong
in advanced biomanufacturing, biomaterials, biomechanics,
cardiovascular engineering, nanomedicine, neuroengineering,
organ-on-a-chip, stem cells, tissue engineering/regenerative
medicine, and wearable biosensors. The BME Department is the home
of the Center of Biomanufacturing for Regenerative Medicine (CBRM),
and the Department has recently formed a joint Institute for
Regenerative Medicine with Upstate Medical University. For more
information, please visit our website. Funding from private operational support and
public capital investment has allowed Binghamton University to
establish the New York Center for AI Responsibility and
Research, one of the nation's first centers aimed at ethical AI
research. The Center will serve as a premier AI research hub for
the entire State University of New York system and focus on
developing novel technical innovations related to the safety and
security of artificial intelligence models and systems.
