Academics

• Our faculty are dedicated not only to cutting edge research, but to excellence in teaching. Through our summer undergraduate research fellowships, students can conduct challenging research with medical and engineering faculty mentors.
• The Washington, DC area has one of the highest concentrations of high-tech companies in the country. This is especially true for biomedical computing. Students who want to participate in paid internships will find ample opportunities in local high-tech companies or in one of the areas many federal laboratories, such as the National Institutes of Health.
• The nation's capital offers a unique environment rich in vibrant and diverse culture with the charm of a moderate size city.

Some of the research projects in biomedical computing at GW:

• Working with a high-tech medical company we are helping to develop new ways to treat cancer.
• Working with GWU's medical school, we are developing ways to treat speech disorders using therapy and image-guided surgery.
• Working with public health officials, we are developing systems to detect early signs of bio-terrorism.
• Working with physicians, we are developing new ways to visualize the medical decision making process.
