At the Crossroads of Innovation

At Purdue University's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, we are building on more than 50 years of translational impact to accelerate the future of health care innovation. Grounded in the pioneering legacy of Leslie A. Geddes, our program continues to grow rapidly in both student enrollment and research activity while advancing discoveries in areas such as neurotechnology and medical devices. Through deep partnerships with industry leaders including Cook Medical, we are connecting education, research, and clinical translation to ensure that new technologies reach patients. Our students and faculty are driving innovation from the classroom to commercialization, from award-winning capstone designs to startup ventures addressing critical needs such as stroke intervention. With an expanding presence in Indianapolis and strong alignment with Indiana's thriving life sciences ecosystem, we are advancing a clear vision: to become the world's most consequential biomedical engineering program by 2030.
