Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

The Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) seeks to address societal challenges by applying engineering principles that link knowledge from the basic sciences, arts, and the humanities with the professions of law, medicine, public policy, design, and business practice. SEAS is the home for a number of departments and focus areas with direct implications for global health, including biomedical engineering, bioengineering, and environmental science. Global health innovations take shape at SEAS through integrated partnerships and SEAS-based centers and programs, such as the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering.
