  1. Thanks guys, aside from "rankings" though, I'm looking for thoughts on relative strengths/weaknesses. Like what are the focuses/strong suits of each school. I'm looking for a program that is strong in molecular imaging, drug delivery, and biomedical devices research with a focus on translational stuff versus theoretical stuff.
  2. Sorry - I mean biomedical engineering. The biomed devices, imaging/diagnosis, bionanotech for cancer, etc. side of things. Thanks!
  3. Anyone have perspectives on the relative strengths and weaknesses of these BioE programs? Specifically, I am most interested in avg time to earn the PhD and whether any of these schools have particular ties to industry or track record of sending graduates to biotech/venture capital firms...Thanks
  4. Thanks for the responses. I'm most interested in doing basic work on a topic that's clinically relevant (e.g. investigating new molecular therapies, be it siRNA 'bombs' / nanofabricated devices / etc for pancreatic/brain cancer). That's sort of what I meant by "translational." I'm debating whether a Bioengineering PhD or Biochem/Molecular physics PhD would be more appropriate for this sort of work. I realize this could fall under the umbrella of "biology" as well, but I'm very interested in taking courses on nanomedicine, biomedical device development, etc. as well because I hope to one day be involved on the industry side as well and they tend to value the more technical degrees. When I browsed through various programs it's clear that some are hard-core engineering focused, with very few clinically relevant projects, while some are more clinical. I think I will begin to look in the big journals for a match, but in the meanwhile I'd love to take suggestions if anyone knows a place that aligns well with my interests. SDN is largely unhelpful for research-related discussions...Thanks.
  5. Hey guys, new here to the forum. I'm a graduating medical student who will be pursuing an oncology related residency. I'm interested in doing a PhD in BioE am trying to evaluate programs that might be a good match. I'm interested in nanotechnology and cancer therapy, so a researcher doing work on nanoscale drug delivery systems for example would be nice fit. I've been trying to search for labs online but there are so many programs and so many labs that its hard to filter out the more translational cancer projects. Anyone have any input?
