Engineering for Health Interdisciplinary Center (E4H)

The Engineering for Health (E4H) interdisciplinary research center aims to shape the future of life sciences and health and address major societal challenges.

Our society is undergoing a revolution that will fundamentally redefine our approach to biological sciences and medicine. This revolution is made possible by the convergence of a range of technologies and medical and social practices that offer unprecedented opportunities for innovative approaches to medical practice and life sciences research.

The vision behind the Interdisciplinary Center for Engineering for Health (E4H) at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) is that to seize these opportunities and realize their full potential, a highly interdisciplinary approach is needed, in which specialists in quantitative and social sciences collaborate closely with the life sciences and medical communities.
