Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society
Your global connection to the world of biomedical engineering.
IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world’s largest international society of biomedical engineers. The organization’s 12,000 members reside in some 97 countries around the world. EMBS provides its members with access to the people, practices, information, ideas and opinions that are shaping one of the fastest growing fields in science.
Our members design the electrical circuits that make a pacemaker run, create the software that reads an MRI, and help develop the wireless technologies that allow patients and doctors to communicate over long distances. They’re interested in bioinformatics, biotechnology, clinical engineering, information technology, instrumentation and measurement, micro and nanotechnology, radiology, and robots. They are researchers and educators, technicians and clinicians—biomedical engineers are the link between science and life science, creating innovations in healthcare technology for the benefit of all humanity.
About Biomedical Engineering
As their title suggests, biomedical engineers work at the intersection of engineering, the life sciences and healthcare. These engineers take principles from applied science (including mechanical, electrical, chemical and computer engineering) and physical sciences (including physics, chemistry and mathematics) and apply them to biology and medicine. Although the human body is a more complex system than even the most sophisticated machine, many of the same concepts that go into building and programming a machine can be applied to biological structures and diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
The goal is to better understand, replace or fix a target system to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare.
Biomedical engineering is the fastest-growing career and this trend is expected to continue over the next decade. To learn more about the career of biomedical engineering, check out our student site.

Publications
IEEE EMBS is the leading publisher of original research in biomedical engineering. We have 11 technical journals and transactions, including the award-winning IEEE PULSE Magazine, which attracts a broad readership, with its general and technical articles.
Global Reach
IEEE EMBS provides global opportunities for activities from local Chapters for students or general members. From these Chapters, members can network, attend a workshop or tutorial, listen to a guest lecture or present their research at a regional conference. With over 123 EMBS Chapters, 44 Student Branch Chapters and 23 Student Clubs, wherever you are in the world you can participate in IEEE EMBS activities.
Conferences
We sponsor several scientific conferences throughout the year. EMBS Conferences provide an opportunity for members and non-members to present and share research information, receive feedback, create networking and employment opportunities and learn about the emerging technologies that will influence future advances in biomedical engineering and healthcare technology.
Awards
EMBS identifies and recognizes the accomplishments and technological excellence of our members. This helps to demonstrate to the world—and educate the public about—the importance of Biomedical Engineering while creating interest in the profession as a career.
Sponsorship and Advertising
Featuring your company at an IEEE EMBS conference or in our publications provides an excellent opportunity to engage with professionals of all levels who are actively evaluating the best that the industry has to offer. Interact with industry experts, professors, biomedical engineers, clinicians, researchers, graduate students, policymakers and key purchasing decision makers.
Exhibitors have the opportunity to join other industry leaders and up-and-coming organizations that will be showcasing and promoting their existing and newly-developed products first-hand to attendees. Demonstrate your cutting-edge, innovative products and services to a global network of thousands of professionals that control multi-million dollar spending budgets.
