### Delivering transformative healthcare solutions for a new era
We’re seamlessly integrating engineering with biology, clinical practice, data science, and AI to create innovative solutions for maintaining wellness, preventing disease, and treating illness more effectively, economically, and equitably.
NYU is forging a transformative path in health engineering by converging its exceptional strengths in engineering, medicine, basic sciences, math, data science, and dentistry. Spearheaded by the cross-disciplinary [Institute for Engineering Health](https://engineering.nyu.edu/research/centers/institute-engineering-health) — co-led by Tandon and NYU Langone with a dynamic dual presence in Brooklyn and Manhattan along with strategic global partnerships — NYU is tackling critical challenges in immunoengineering and biomedical engineering with a focus on translation, scalability, and societal impact.
