IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world's largest international society of biomedical engineers. The organization's 12,000+ members reside in some 97 countries around the world. EMBS provides its members with access to the people, practices, information, ideas and opinions that are shaping one of the fastest growing fields in science. EMBS members come from everywhere and every walk of life. They work in industry, academic institutions, hospitals, entrepreneurs and government agencies. They design the electrical circuits that make a pacemaker run...create the software that reads an MRI...and help develop the wireless technologies that allow patients and doctors to communicate over long distances. They're interested in bioinformatics, biotechnology, clinical engineering, information technology, instrumentation and measurement, micro and nanotechnology, radiology, and robots. They are researchers and educators, technicians and clinicians; Biomedical Engineers are the link between science and life science creating innovations in healthcare technology for the benefit of all. From formalized mathematical theory through experimental science, from technological development to practical clinical applications, EMBS members support scientific, technological, and educational activities as they apply to the concepts and methods of the physical and engineering sciences in biology and medicine. By working together, we transform and revolutionize future medicine and healthcare. EMBS members engineer healthcare solutions from bench to bedside.
