Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary area of research. It encompasses a wide range of engineering and medical techniques including bioelectronics, biomechanics, biomaterials and biosensors. It is this fusion of engineering and healthcare that has led to exciting advancements in diverse areas of biomedical engineering including assistive technologies and magnetic resonance imaging.

We have a growing portfolio of biomedical engineering research including:

• £1.44m EPSRC-funded develop technologies that will enable the next generation of assistive devices to provide truly natural control through enhanced sensory feedback (EP/M025977/1)
• A Translational Alliance with Össur, an Icelandic company who work in the fields of Prosthetic, Osteoarthritis and Injury Solutions
• Using patient experiences to improve medical engineering design for replacement hip joints
• Retinal prosthetics and artificial corneas
• Our role in the £5.6m EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Medical Devices
