The Houston Society for Engineering in Medicine and Biology was established in 1982 to provide a forum for the development and applications of biomedical technology. The Society acts as a catalyst for interaction among the various components in the greater Houston area including the universities, medical schools, hospitals, industrial organizations and entrepreneurs. The Society also promotes biomedical engineering in the greater Houston area to government and other national and international bodies.
