The
Harvard/MIT
Division
of Health
Sciences
and Technology is
designed
to focus
science
and technology
on human
health needs
through
education
and research
from a clinical
perspective.
This effort
engages
faculty,
staff, and
students
of the two
institutions
in research
activities
which utilize
the unique
health care
resources
that exist
in the Cambridge-Boston
area. The
Division
offers opportunities
for undergraduates
to participate
in these
research
programs
at the interface
of technology
and medicine.
Students
should consult
the special
catalog
that describes
the academic
offerings
of the Division
and lists
the faculty
engaged
in these
offerings.
Copies of
this catalog
are available
in E25-519.
Also see
listings for:
Course 2,
Drs. Bowman, Cravalho;
Course 6,
Drs. Mark, Gray, Massaquoi.
Check with
the Division
for research
projects with
Dr. Steven
K. Burns.
Further
Information: Consult
the "Harvard-MIT
Division
Catalog" and
the "Guide
to Biomedical
Engineering
and Physics
at MIT
and Harvard." See Awards
& Funds for information
on funding
that may
pertain
to your
research.
