New Jersey Institute of Technology has a number of multi-disciplinary research centers and specialized laboratories that focus on cutting-edge technologies with applications in biomedicine and the life sciences:

• The Medical Device Concept Laboratory (MDCL), focuses on the development of synthetic materials in biomedicine.  
  
  
• The Vision and Neural Engineering Lab is studying how the brain divides and controls its tasks to send and receive information to better understand how the neurophysiological system operates.
  
  
• The Center for Membrane Technologies develops micro- and nanoporous filters (pdf, 533KB) that are of increasing importance in medicine and pharmaceutical manufacture.
  
  
• The Microelectronics Fabrication Center assists researchers in building micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices for a variety of applications.Bio-MEMS is an important focal point for the department.
  
  
• The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Children with Orthopedic Disabilities is in collaboration with New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University, and Children's Specialized Hospital.  This RERC focuses on rehabilitation engineering technologies with three reserach studies and three development projects that address the serious problems faced by children with orthopedic disabilities.  For more information on this center please see the website: http://rerc.njit.edu
