UC San Diego launches Institute of Engineering in Medicine to accelerate health care tech
Date:7/17/2008

engineering school both ranked in the top 15.

David Brenner, M.D., vice chancellor for Health Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine at UC San Diego, sees the Institute of Engineering in Medicine as a leader in designing next-generation therapies and devices.

"The next giant leap in patient care is going to happen through the joint efforts of engineering, medicine and pharmacy specialists, applying their expertise to expand the tool box for preventing, diagnosing and treating disease and injury," said Brenner. "Even though this formalized effort is still in its formative stage, we're already seeing exciting results from these collaborations that will have a profound impact at the patient's bedside."

"With our top-ranked engineering and medical schools and our close ties to the region's strong life sciences and technology industries, UC San Diego is uniquely positioned to make significant contributions to the advancement of technologies to improve medicine and save lives," said Frieder Seible, dean of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. "The ideas and applications generated by the Institute will be aided by an entrepreneurism center that has been recognized as a national model of effectiveness, and we will strive to move medical innovations out of the university and into patient care as quickly as possible."

The von Liebig Center for Entrepreneurism and Technology Advancement and the Office of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Services at UC San Diego, which have helped to spin off dozens of local biotech companies, will facilitate the process of commercializing the Institute's innovations.

Among the examples of projects underway at UC San Diego:

  • Engineers, physicians, and scientists have identified cells that may be capable of regenerating damaged or lost heart muscle in patients with cardiovascular disease.

  • The Nanotechnology Center of Excellence has d
