Imaging Science and Informatics Portfolio Program and Fellowship
Portfolio Program
The over-arching theme of this program is to train “comprehensive imaging scientists” in the skills necessary to identify clinically relevant problems; develop instrumentation, sensors, and contrast agents to form images appropriate for the problem; and analyze the resulting imaging data using signal processing, mathematical modeling, visualizations, and informatics techniques to improve the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. This portfolio program is part of a larger training program that includes UT Austin, UT Health Science Center at Houston, UT M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, UT Medical Branch at Galveston and Brooks City Base in San Antonio, Texas.
The basic requirement to complete this portfolio program is 12 hours of coursework in imaging science at UT Austin that form the requisite core knowledge for an imaging scientist. In addition, optional coursework, seminars, and research internships have been identified and are available to the students.

To apply to the Portfolio Program, indicate your interest on the department application when applying for admission to the UT Department of Biomedical Engineering graduate program.
Fellowships
The University of Texas Department of Biomedical Engineering was awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) training grant from National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This grant includes competitive fellowships to support selected graduate students accepted into the Portfolio Program for five years, from 2009 to 2014. The prestigious one year fellowship includes a stipend, summer travel stipend, and pays for tuition. Eligible applicants who express interest in the Portfolio Program will automatically be considered for a fellowship.
