Course summary
This program focuses on the development of new generation biomaterials and structures. Polytechnic has for long been an international leader in polymer chemistry. Materials are being designed to stimulate specific cellular responses at the molecular level. Examples are bioresorbable materials that cue specific biological responses to activate genes, guide cell growth and differentiation, and alter extracellular matrix production and organization. The ability to "tailor" polymer structures, analyze the physical properties of new biomaterials, and then process these polymers into various forms allows collaborative intercampus teams to pursue a wide range of applications. These applications include synthesis of materials for tissue engineering, drug delivery, bone screws, and more. Other research focuses on the development of biosensors for rapid detection and analysis of biological markers, ranging from single nucleotide polymorphisms to anthrax spores. Through their collaborations, investigators have developed low molar mass and high molecular weight glycolipids. Results have demonstrated the potential of the new glycolipid analogs to function as effective modulators of the immune response, anticancer agents, and as adjuvant in vaccine formulations. These studies have stimulated researchers to investigate the role of sophorolipids, in particular, in decreasing sepsis related mortality and other inflammatory diseases. SUNY Downstate Medical Center and Polytechnic University are providing this new joint PhD Program in Biomedical Engineering.
Entry requirement for international students
The School of Graduate Studies strongly encourages applicants from ethnic groups underrepresented in science. Applicants are expected to have a bachelors degree from an accredited institution. Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate courses, Letters of recommendation and the results of the Graduate Record Examinations are required.
