Introduction

The Master's degree in Bioengineering for Personalized Medicine (B4PM) offers multidisciplinary training that combines the fields of biomedical, industrial and information engineering with those of medicine and biology. The Master’s degree is run jointly by three Italian universities: University of Trento: University of Modena and Reggio Emilia; University of Verona.

The Master is designed taking into account the current trends in the development of technologies and medicine. It thus offers training in step with the times and is capable of transforming technological evolution into value for the patient, professionals and society in general.

Particular attention is paid to the development of modern medicine, where technologies and health services oriented towards the personalization of care according to the canons of 5P medicine are fundamental: precise, predictive, personalized, preventive and participatory, to which today the theme is added of sustainability.

In this context, the Biomedical Engineer is the main actor in the process of innovation of methods and products through:

  • understanding the functioning of complex systems, with attention to biological systems in physiological and pathological conditions;
  • the development of new equipment, systems and procedures for prevention, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation, with attention to the issues of quality, safety and sustainability;
  • the study and research of innovative advanced materials for precision medicine in the contexts of advanced prosthetics (new prostheses, artificial organs, life support systems, aids and prostheses for the disabled);
  • the implementation of technological innovation in Health Services.

Program Overview

Learning objectives

The Master's degree in Bioengineering for Personalized Medicine (B4PM) aims to train engineers with a high mastery of the methods for the design, development, characterization, quality control and management of medical devices, systems and services for the promotion of personalized and precision medicine according to logics attentive to sustainability issues.

Engineering knowledge of mechanics, materials, information, electronics and robotics form the starting point of education in the first year of the course.

These are complemented by disciplines and skills related

  • to the medical-biological area (physiology, clinical research, medical pathology, medical statistics);
  • to biomedical engineering (data supply chain, modeling, artificial intelligence, advanced prosthetics, biofabrication, tissue engineering);
  • to product innovation topics (experimental research, clinical research, regulatory, quality, safety).

The integration between STEM skills and those of medicine and biology will be even more advanced in the second year of study, where the student is asked to choose his own specialization curriculum among:

  • Digital Healthcare, focuses on the topics of robotics, data management and processing, Artificial Intelligence and process modeling, which constitute the set of technologies enabling the development of healthcare 4.0 and its evolution into healthcare centred on the patient.
  • Emerging and Sustainable Medical Technologies, focused on the topics of intelligent biomaterials, tissue engineering, biofabrication and advanced prosthetics for the development of innovative technologies for prevention, diagnostics and therapy in the paradigm of personalized and precision medicine according to logics attentive to sustainability issues.
