- An M.D./Ph.D. program has been initiated whereby students with engineering backgrounds can receive a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at IIT and an M.D. from the University of Chicago. Qualified students are admitted to the MSTP (Medical Scientist Training Program) at the University of Chicago and subsequently apply to the Department of Biomedical Engineering for their Ph.D. studies.
Research Facilities:
The Pritzker Institute of Medical Engineering explores the application of engineering principles to the solution of healthcare problems. The main areas of focus are cell and tissue engineering, medical imaging, and neural engineering. Areas of interest are cardiovascular disease, biomaterials, vision, brain electrophysiology, signal processing and analysis.Research Areas:
1. Cell and Tissue Engineering2. Medical Imaging
3. Neural Engineering
Admission Requirements:
1. Minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA: 3.2/4.0
2. GRE score minimum:
1800 (combined)
1200 (quantitative + verbal), 3.0 (analytical writing)
The admission committee will also consider recommendations from three college faculty members acquainted with the character, research ability, potential, qualifications and motivation of the applicant, and the results of a personal interview.
Entering graduate students are assigned a temporary academic advisor who will provide initial guidance. As their research and other academic interests become defined, students select a permanent research advisor, who will also guide them through their academic studies.
