Welcome to the Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering at USC. option (in Systems Physiology) within the Electrical Engineering Department.
We conduct cutting-edge research in areas such as neuroengineering, biosystems and biosignal analysis, medical devices and imaging, and systems cellular-molecular bioengineering. Biomedical Engineering at the University of Southern California began in 1963 as a Ph.D. In 1967, Dr. Fred S. Grodins joined the University and undertook the challenge of establishing a formal program in biomedical engine
