McMaster University’s Faculties of Engineering and Health Sciences have been brought together to create a unique research and training program under the umbrella of the School of Biomedical Engineering (SMBE). Improved healthcare and outcomes grounded in Biomedical Engineering require new approaches emphasizing integration and collaboration among traditional research areas.

The School provides a unique collaborative environment that leverages our existing expertise in medical sciences and engineering, and that links current and emerging areas of molecular, medical and bioengineering research.

The McMaster School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME) was established to train professionals who are equally at home in both biomedical and engineering environments. We are at the forefront of training a new breed of health care professional who are capable of integrating into research studies and embracing and utilizing new technologies.
