Boğaziçi University’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering (BME) has been advancing human health at the intersection of engineering, life sciences, and medicine since its founding in 1982 by the visionary Prof. Necmi Tanyolaç—one of the world’s earliest biomedical engineers. Today, the Institute is home to 14 full‑time and five part‑time faculty members, and it offers internationally accredited M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs that attract students from engineering, the physical sciences, and the health professions. Its mission is two‑fold: to deliver rigorous, interdisciplinary graduate education and to create transformative technologies that solve pressing clinical problems.
