The Ph.D. in Biomedical Science and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering are offered
through the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering (GSBSE), which
is a multidisciplinary research consortium connecting four external research
organizations with the University of Maine as the degree-granting institution. The
over 150 affiliated faculty conduct research in a variety of topics, including
biomedical engineering, computational biology, bioinformatics, biophysics,
bioengineering and nanotechnology, molecular and cell biology, neuroscience, and
the molecular mechanisms of disease. The GSBSE contributes to learning and
discovery on the emerging frontier of the biological, physical, clinical, and
behavioral sciences, preparing new faculty, training scientists and engineers, and
furthering Maine’s biotechnology and biomedical infrastructure.
The GSBSE is a multi-institutional graduate program connecting two academic
institutions of the University of Maine and the University of New England as well as
three world-class research institutions of The Jackson Laboratory, the Maine
Health Institute for Research, and the Mount Desert Island Biological.
