Abstract

Binghamton University has initiated a new bioengineering undergraduate program grounded in complex systems theory. Our goal is to create a core curriculum, combining computationally based learning with laboratory experiences, which will provide students with the foundation for dealing with the inherent complexity of biological and biomedical systems, whether at the molecular, tissue, organismic, or clinical system level.
