Biomedical engineers can find employment in a number of different industry sectors, each of which are highlighted in this months showcase. We have provided a summary of each of the major industries: bioinformatics, biotechnology, instrumentation and design, medical devices, therapeutics, and biomedical suppliers. As well, links have been provided (in the Career Info section) to companies in each of these domains.
Hopefully this information will assist you with your
search for summer or full-time employment. Don't forget
about CUBE's upcoming Wine and Cheese event - it will be an
excellent opportunity to meet industry representatives and
do some networking. Good luck with your job hunt!
Bioinformatics - The bioinformatics industry encompasses those companies who develop computer systems and software to store biological data and/or model biological systems.
Biotechnology - As we have defined them, Biotechnology companies develop products related to the agricultural industry and/or the environment.
Instrumentation and Diagnostics - This area encompasses companies whose product line includes tools for research, diagnostics machines and hospital equipment. Examples of such products are PCR and MRI machines.
Medical Devices - The medical devices industry is
responsible for the development of electronics and robotics
used in therapy such as prosthetics and pace makers.
Therapeutics - Therapeutics includes the pharmaceutical industry and the research and development of therapies and medical treatments.
Biomedical Suppliers - This encompasses the broad range of companies involved in the development of lab and medical equipment, for example, chemical suppliers such as Sigma Aldrich or general scientific suppliers, such as Fisher Scientific.
