About Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation & Design

Our team at the Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID) is devoted to two things: education + innovation, both in the service of human health. As part of the world-leading Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering, CBID is firmly rooted in both the Whiting School of Engineering and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. This gives our students and partners access to the wealth of clinical and scientific expertise across both campuses — an opportunity unparalleled in the world. Students enrolled in our one-year MSE program start off running from day one. It is an intense 2-3 years’ worth of design and innovation and learning packed into one fast-paced year. Students work with researchers, clinicians, engineers, and experienced industry advisors to design, build, and test devices to solve clinical problems in both advanced health systems and the world’s low-resource health delivery settings. As a CBID MSE student, you will complete clinical rotations here at Johns Hopkins Medicine and in developing countries to see firsthand what patients need. Then you will work with CBID mentors and your team mates to learn the process of going from needs assessment through device development. Along the way, you will gain key entrepreneurial and management skills
