Introduction

Biomedical engineering is an evolving field of study that integrates the disciplines of biology, medicine, and engineering to develop innovative systems and devices with the objective of enhancing the quality of health services.

Anhembi Morumbi-PPGEBM’s Postgraduate Program in Biomedical Engineering ( (PPG EBM = Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Biomédica), with Master’s and Doctorate degrees, is designed to develop students into leading professionals in their fields. The program is distinguished by a tradition of excellence and a team of professors with international experience.

The PPGEBM is offered on the premises of the São José dos Campos Technology Park-PIT, a center accredited by the Federal, State, and Municipal governments, and is integrated into the Technology Park’s Center for Technological Innovation in Health. The Center for Innovation, Technology and Education (CITÉ) oversees the operations of the aforementioned center.

Access the program’s laboratory infrastructure at: https://www.cite.org.br/general-clean

CITÉ is comprised of a multidisciplinary team of scientists with research and development laboratories dedicated to the advancement of health-related technologies, including computer-assisted health, innovative materials and prostheses, diagnostic and surgical procedures, and therapeutic processes employing phototherapy and ozone therapy. Universities such as UNIFESP, UNESP, Anhembi Morumbi University, ITA, and FATEC, in addition to hospitals in the region and São Paulo, are engaged in collaborative research with CITE.

Program Structure/Requirements

Master’s and PhD in Biomedical Engineering
Master’s Duration: 2 years
Doctorate Duration: 4 years
Campus: CITÉ/São José dos Campos Technology Park
Shift: Full time

Master’s and Doctorate recommended by CAPES in March 2017 (Ministerial Order No. 128, MEC, 02/20/2018, DOU of 02/21/2018).

The program consists of a set of compulsory and elective courses. At the start of the program, the student selects a field of biomedical engineering and the postgraduate professor responsible for the respective area. In agreement with this professor, the student will develop their research project. At the end of the program, the thesis/dissertation based on the research project will be analyzed by a panel of experts in the field in order to award the title of master or doctor to the candidate.

Throughout the program, students are supported by a network of experienced supervisors who are part of the teaching staff. Its location in the São José dos Campos Technology Park allows the program to offer students access to various industrial, academic and government groups resident in the Technology Park. The program also maintains close working relationships with the largest hospital complex in Latin America, the metropolitan region of São Paulo and also the Paraíba Valley.

Faculty

Area of Expertise and Lines of Research

The interdisciplinary research developed by the program is offered in two areas of expertise – (1) Therapeutic Systems and Procedures and (2) Systems and Processes for Diagnostics:

Expertise area 1 – Therapeutic Systems and Procedures

This area of study combines lines of research that aim to help treat different pathologies, developing optical systems, photoactivated therapeutic drugs, medicines for heart disease, herbal medicines, ozone, ultrasound, among others. It also includes the study of biomechanics, balance and rehabilitation, and the development of clinical and hospital instrumentation.

Research lines associated with this area:

 

→ Biomechanics and Rehabilitation: This line of research brings together projects aimed at studying and determining the biomechanical responses produced by different types of stimuli, and assessed using different measurement techniques. The projects also aim to determine dysfunctions in motor balance using stabilometric and baropodometric parameters, especially in the elderly. In addition, it proposes and evaluates techniques and tools aimed at the rehabilitation of people affected by some kind of dysfunction.
→ Hospital Instrumentation: This line of research proposes projects aimed at developing new medical, dental and hospital, clinical, laboratory and rehabilitation devices, instruments and equipment, including optimizing the ergonomics and usability of this equipment.
→ Translational Medicine: Projects related to translational medicine involve the transfer of knowledge acquired from basic sciences to practical/clinical and community applications. Translational research is made up of four phases: T1, which transfers knowledge from pre-clinical research to human beings, T2, to patients, T3, to clinical practice and T4, to the population. The aim of this research is to contribute to all phases of this process with a multidisciplinary and multiphase approach.
→ Therapeutic Procedures Using Non-Ionizing Radiation: This line brings together projects that use low and medium power lasers, LEDs and ultrasound to treat different diseases in a minimally invasive way, including the use of photoactive compounds.
→ Therapeutic Products: This line brings together projects using different techniques for the development and characterization of new drugs, photoactivated or not, and new techniques and devices, such as: treatment with herbal medicines, study of oxazine and porphyrin dyes (PDT), as well as the use of ozone.

Expertise area 2 – Systems and Processes for Diagnostics

This area of study brings together lines of research focused on the development of systems and processes, which aim to help obtain information on biological tissues in a minimally or non-invasive way, through optical spectroscopy, thermography, AI and biological signal analysis.
Research lines associated with this area:


→ Development of diagnostic techniques and systems: This line of research brings together projects whose main focus is the development of optical techniques and systems aimed at diagnosing pathological alterations in biological tissues and fluids, such as fluorescence spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance and Raman scattering. Mathematical tools based on multivariate statistics are used, such as principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares regression (PLS), and AI.
→ Public Health Information Tools: The area of Public Health requires the multidisciplinary development of mathematical, statistical and computational models, as well as the development of computerized systems aimed at data analysis and process improvement, with a view to strategic decision-making in the use of SUS resources. Data is made available through hospitals, health departments, the Ministry of Health, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and the aim is to statistically evaluate data from these bodies, develop tools (software/IA) for information management and control, as well as decision-making.
→ Processing and Analysis of Biological Signals: This line of research involves projects focused on electrical signal processing techniques that allow diagnostic information to be obtained on various diseases that affect humans, particularly myoelectric, electrocardiographic and electromyographic signals. The aim is to study musculoskeletal diseases, arrhythmias, cardioprotection, heart rate variability, studies which will guide the choice of the most appropriate therapies.

Disciplines

Objective of the Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering

The Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering at Anhembi Morumbi University is an interdisciplinary program that provides a comprehensive education in the field of biomedical engineering, coupled with rigorous research training. The program equips students with the expertise to excel in roles that bridge the gap between engineering and healthcare, where they can contribute to the advancement of new methodologies, techniques, and systems for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of human diseases.

The Master’s and Doctorate in Biomedical Engineering is designed for professionals with diverse backgrounds, including those from the health and exact sciences sectors.
