Bioengineering

We research and develop new approaches to the treatment of disease, assess the performance of medical devices, and work to understand how natural materials can be used in engineering applications.

Our research areas

Our main research areas are:

  • medical devices
  • biomaterials
  • biological materials
  • Biomedical robots

We work with our Medical School, the NHS, leading medical charities and industry in order to ensure that our research can be applied in practice.
