Mir Imran - Distinguished Medtronic Lecturer

Mir Imran, a prolific entrepreneur in medical technology, shared his insights around company formation and clinical needs with students at John Hopkins during the university's BioMedical Engineering Design Day. During his keynote speech, Mir placed his achievements in the context of accelerating innovation in the field, and he painted a vision of how healthcare will change during the years ahead.

Johns Hopkins Bio Medical Enginnering Department

The Biomedical Engineering Department at Johns Hopkins University is widely recognized for its impact in basic research. Yet translational research – the interface of science, engineering and medicine where collaborations between engineers and clinicians arise – has also been a major focus of the department, generating such contributions as the use of the helium-argon laser to treat diabetic retinopathy and multi-electrode microprobes for measuring electrical activity in the cortex

BME Design Day 2007

Design Day 2007 highlights the latest accomplishments of a group talented students, who delivered both oral and poster presentations. Selected graduate students presented detail design ideas that resulted from their research or coursework. Three undergraduate projects – carried out by student Design Teams “hired” by a simulated corporation, Homewood Biomedical Design Associates, and sponsored by a medical school faculty member and an interested government or corporate entity – also presented.

Center For BioEngineering Innovation and Design

BME Design Day 2007 marks the opening of the new Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID).

The mission of the CBID is to:

• Improve human health by developing medical devices that solve important clinical problems.

• Educate a new generation of medical device engineers and clinical fellows.

• Facilitate technology transfer & commercialization of inventions developed by students, clinicians and research scientists.

This translational research center will enable the Biomedical Engineering Department to expand the capacity to undertake complex and challenging medical device design and development projects while also providing greater access to industry, clinicians and research scientists to collaborate with undergraduate and graduate students at Johns Hopkins, enabling the Whiting School of Engineering & Johns Hopkins School of Medicine to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, and to effectively and efficiently bringing the products of student, clinician and faculty research from bench, to bedside and marketplace.
