Doctors, biologists and neurologists join the School of Engineering of the University of Navarra to introduce students to design and construction of health technologies.
One of the novelties that the Bologna Plan has brought to TECNUN-School of Engineering of the University of Navarra this year is the new Degree Biomedical Engineering, discipline which applies the principles and methods of Engineering to the understanding, definition and resolution of problems in Biology and Medicine.
For this reason it is becoming common to see doctors, biologists or neurologists in the corridors and classrooms of campus technology, giving lessons of the subject Introduction to Biomedicine for engineers, as guest lecturers.
Specifically, on the second day of class, the professor manager of the subject, Elena de Juan, was presented at the classroom with Sonia Tejada and Ricardo Díez Valle, neurosurgeons of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra, who during this semester will teach their students the basics of this specialization.
The goal halfway deadline would be that young students, combining both sciences, could find solutions to diseases such as Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), a nerve tumor located in the brain, which is currently practically incurable.
