The Institute of Engineering in Medicine (IEM) was established at UC San Diego as an Organized Research Unit in July 2008. The IEM has over 130 outstanding faculty from UCSD’s Schools of Medicine, Skaggs School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Jacobs School of Engineering, all sharing the objective of translating creative ideas into clinical medicine and novel products that will transform patient care and improve the health and wellbeing of people.
