Medical Devices Center
The Medical Devices Center (MDC) was established in the spring of 2008 under the direction of Arthur Erdman, Ph.D., to provide resources and assistance to researchers and industry partners in the medical device design process. From design concept through clinical trials, the center works to develop new relationships with the vibrant Twin Cities medical device industry and various government agencies in an effort to improve health care worldwide.
The Medical Devices Center was named as one of the university's top strategic investments in its 2007 Minnesota Legislative budget request. Click here to view the Medical Devices Center Brochure.
The center also educates and helps to develop the next generation of medical device inventors. Beginning fall of 2008, the new Medical Devices Center Fellows Program will bring together postgraduate engineering researchers, seasoned medical device professionals and physicians to identify, develop, prototype and test medical devices. This will be an immersive one-year product development experience for the fellows. Click here to learn more about the fellows program.
