The Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices is bringing together skilled scientists, medical doctors, health practitioners, and bioengineers who are working to research, design, and build biomedical devices to benefit humanity, while simultaneously training the next generation of innovators.

Mission

The Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices seeks to catalyze the transformation of basic research into clinical practice and commercial success. The Institute will drive innovation by immersing creative and energetic scientists and engineers in a nurturing and rewarding research environment where engineered health systems are conceived of and investigated. Our team is comprised of staff, resources, facilities, and a “network of experts” who facilitate not only prototyping and manufacturing expertise, but who also drive venture creation, intellectual property creation, and product passage through various clinical, regulatory and reimbursement hurdles.
