Bioengineering Faculty Members
|
|
The distinctive qualities of the Department of Bioengineering core faculty, emeritus, joint appointments, adjunct faculty, and affiliate faculty serve as the backbone to the department's overall strength and competitive ranking as an internationally recognized teaching and research institution.
Currently, 20 research and teaching faculty members have primary appointments in the department, and many hold joint appointments with several institutions of the Texas Medical Center. The department also benefits from 11 multi-disciplinary joint appointments within various science and engineering departments of Rice's George R. Brown School of Engineering. In addition, a network of adjunct faculty collaborate with the department on many levels to build partnerships that identify important problems, develop and translate bioengineering solutions, and train the next generation of leaders in bioengineering.
