PTRP differentiates itself from other research parks in many ways, including its capabilities in biomedical engineering. The Virginia Tech - Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering & Sciences (SBES), engages the strengths of Wake Forest University Health Sciences, the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech, and the VA-MD Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. The SBES program specializes in biomechanics, cell and tissue engineering, biomedical imaging and medical physics. Graduates of this program help provide the park with a highly skilled workforce, experienced in advanced clinical practice and progressive biomedical research. Access to this skilled and experienced workforce is an asset to companies operating in the park
