Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society of the IEEE

Pacific NorthWest Seattle Chapter EMB-18

Engineering in Medicine and Biology is a society of people who are applying the concepts and methods of physical and engineering sciences to the problems of biology and medicine. This covers a very broad spectrum, ranging from formalized mathematical theory through experimental science and technological development to practical clinical applications. It includes support of scientific, technological, and educational activities. The aim of the Seattle Chapter, is to be a catalyst for EMBS activity in the Pacific Northwest area.
