In the most recent U.S. News and World Report rankings of graduate school specialties, the Department of Biomedical Engineering in Washington University's school of engineering was ranked number 10th ( tied with Stanford University's program). This is the first time that any engineering school program at Washington University has been ranked in the top ten. The department was founded in 1997 and has been led since that time by Frank C-P Yin. The department now has 16 faculty, 320 undergraduates and more than 100 graduate students. Its per capita research funding places it among the very top departments in the university and the country. Construction is underway for a new building to enable the department to expand beyond its current space in the Whitaker Hall for Biomedical Engineering. Congratulations for a job well-done by all in the department!
