The research strategy pursued at Arts et Métiers on a continuum between fundamental and applied research, with the aim of developing innovative solutions that benefit patients:

Each year, the research conducted enables us to meet the needs of around 30 innovative companies seeking technological solutions and scientific expertise to assist in the design of medical devices and routine clinical testing.

A cross-sectional study

The Georges Charpak Institute of Human Biomechanics (IBHGC), with its 2,000 m² entirely dedicated to biomechanics for health, is a meeting place for clinicians, engineers, and manufacturers. Furthermore, the diversity of the Arts et Métiers laboratories Arts et Métiers undeniable added value, and the development of inter-laboratory partnerships allows for the cross-fertilization of a wide range of skills in biomechanics (IBHGC), virtual reality (LAMPA, LE2I), medical machining (LABOMAP), cardiovascular (Dynfluid), cobotics (LML), innovative design (LCPI), 3D printing (I2M), and biotechnology (LCFC).

Training

The training courses offered in the field of health are in line with the institution's mission to train the next generation of scientific and technical experts who will be capable of innovating and making a high-level contribution to European and international industry in this field.

Master's degree in research

The BioMedical Engineering (BME-Paris) program offers a Master's degree in Bioengineering, based on a unique partnership betweenParis Descartes University and ParisTech (specifically Arts et Métiers,ESPCI,ENSMP, andENST).

General engineering degree: expertise in "organic"

A course entitled " Bioengineering: Biomechanics and Engineering for Health " is also offered to third-year students to prepare them for the expectations of industry in this field. In addition to lectures, a significant portion of the course is devoted to tutorials on a specialized project developed throughout the first semester, before students complete an end-of-studies internship in a company.
