Training the next generation of leaders in biomedical engineering design

项目摘要/摘要 下一代生物工程和生物医学研究人员将拥有前所未有的机会 包括无线健康、大数据、基因测序和机器学习方法在内的技术 启用现代诊断和治疗技术。这展示了在界面上接受培训的个人 技术和生物医学为满足世界在卫生和卫生方面的需求提供了巨大的机会 医药。在加州大学洛杉矶分校的生物工程系，我们的目标是开发 学生转变为领导者，能够无缝地识别技术可以解决的临床需求、设计和 验证满足这些需求的解决方案，与各种利益相关者沟通以建立团队 投资于以问题为导向的解决方案，并通过必要的监管和商业途径 使他们的技术蓬勃发展。 加州大学洛杉矶分校的生物工程顶石系列利用加州大学洛杉矶分校提供的资源，使学生能够：1) 直接从罗纳德·里根医学院的临床医生和教育工作者那里了解临床需求 中心、大卫·格芬医学院、牙医学院和加州大学洛杉矶分校医疗系统，2)设计他们的 通过工程学教授的指导解决方案，3)了解生物医学的复杂性 由加州大学洛杉矶分校技术开发小组和 工程行业咨询委员会，4)通过以下方式利用无线健康和数据科学中的现代技术 与移动传感器数据到知识(MD2K)和移动健康卓越中心合作 加州大学洛杉矶分校(MHealth)研究所，以及5)与国家科学基金会Precision Advanced合作 服务不足人群的技术和卫生系统工程研究中心(NSF路径- Up ERC)学习瞄准并交流他们的技术，以实现社会效益的最大化。

Project Summary/Abstract The next generation of bioengineering and biomedical researchers will have unprecedented access to technologies including wireless health, big data, genetic sequencing, and machine learning approaches to enable modern diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. This presents individuals trained at the interface of technology and biomedicine with an enormous opportunity to address the world’s needs in health and medicine. In the Bioengineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, we aim to develop students into leaders able to seamlessly identify clinical needs that technology can address, design and validate solutions that address these needs, communicate with a variety of stakeholders to build teams invested in problem-oriented solutions, and to navigate the regulatory and commercial pathways necessary to enable their technologies to thrive. The Bioengineering Capstone Series at UCLA leverages resources available at UCLA to enable students to: 1) gain insight into clinical needs directly from clinicians and educators across the Ronald Reagan Medical Center, David Geffen School of Medicine, School of Dentistry and UCLA Health System, 2) design their solutions through mentorship from engineering professors, 3) understand the complexities of the biomedical industry with support from the UCLA Technology Development Group and members of the Department of Engineering Industry Advisory Board, 4) utilize modern technologies in wireless health and data science by collaborating with the Center of Excellence for Mobile Sensor Data- to-Knowledge (MD2K) and Mobile Health (mHealth) Institute at UCLA, and 5) work with the National Science Foundation Precise Advanced Technologies and Health Systems for Underserved Populations Engineering Research Center (NSF PATHS- UP ERC) to learn to target and communicate their technologies to maximize societal benefits.
