Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering uses engineering principles and analysis to solve problems in medicine and biological sciences.
Examples of this include drug delivery methods, biomedical devices, biomechanics, mechanobiology and materials used for medical research, simulation, and training.
Collaborative projects in the department with the faculty of medicine, and in the areas of plasma science, biotechnology and advanced materials have led to innovative research in biomedical engineering.
