Education
The Bio-Engineering Systems focus area consists of two
educational programs:
- An
Advanced Studies one-year Course
(1st year toward a PhD or an Advanced Certificate upon
completion).
- A
PhD research
program (3 to 4 additional years) offered jointly
by the collaborating Portuguese universities.
The Bio-Engineering Systems PhD program will attract
the highest-performing students and involves possible
exchanges with MIT faculty and their laboratories. Curriculum
development as well as teaching activities involve the
Portuguese institutions as well as MIT faculty.
The specific emerging technologies targeted to complement and
enhance the existing Portuguese biosciences and technology
excellence include education and research in: tissue engineering,
biomaterials, computational and synthetic biosystems, drug
development, neuroscience, biomedical devices and technologies,
health and environmental systems, and innovation and leadership
for future bioengineers.

programs can be found
