RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS
Health and Wellbeing
The incredible size and population density of the Houston metro area means unique opportunities when it comes to healthcare treatment and research. Researchers at the Cullen College of Engineering are able to capitalize on all facets of this unique environment thanks to professors in multiple departments exploring different aspects of healthcare.
The Building Reliable Advances and Innovations in Neurotechnology (BRAIN) Center develops safe, effective and affordable neurotechnologies for diagnostics and rehabilitation of sensory, motor and cognitive functions. The Center for Neuro-Engineering & Cognitive Science conducts research into neuro-engineering and cognitive science, coordinating across three colleges at UH. These entities and others at Cullen examine healthcare challenges at the macro-level, making sure that developments have practical applications.
