Biesel Institute of Medical Sciences

Founded in 2185 by Dr. Harris Northrop and Dr. Elena Brush, Biesel Institute of Medical Sciences is dedicated to education. It received a fair bit of government funding and support in its early years. It was intended to become an institution where students could pursue higher applications of medicine, in particular genetic and neurological areas of research. The BIMS campus is situated near the heart of Mendell City, and is considered to be the most prominent medical university on Biesel, as well as the oldest.

The current Dean is Dr. Sharon Trattner.

Academics
Due to this prestigious reputation, the admissions boards can afford to be very picky in who they allow to attend, and as such, only 5.7% of qualified applicants gain entry into BIMS. Many alumni of this university have gone on to lead illustrious careers in their respective fields, and several have pushed forward the boundaries of modern medical technology.

BIMS alumni tend to make up the majority of the medical personnel hired locally by NanoTrasen and other medical firms based in Tau Ceti. NanoTrasen has offered scholarship programs to promising students on the condition of contractual employment with the company upon graduation.
