The Challenges

In Biomedical & Biological Systems the focus is primarily on challenges in biomedical engineering and biological sciences. We deal with both basic research in biomedical systems as well as in fundamental issues of health and wellbeing.

Our Research

Problems in fundamental research of humans, human systems and healthcare are interspersed with very applied projects around the the design, development and deployment of assistive technologies and rehabilitation techniques. Various specialties combine together through mathematical modelling, systems engineering, signal processing along side anatomy, physiology, pharmacology - applied to various conditions and research goals.

Our Laboratories

The Research Group is organised into eight research laboratories:

  • Applied Biomedical Signal Processing and Intelligent eHealth Lab
  • Biomedical & Biological Systems Lab
  • Biomedical Sensors Lab
  • Digital & Materials Technology Lab
  • Gait Lab
  • NanoBioengineering Lab
  • Trace Metals in Medicine Lab
The Biomedical and Biological Engineering Group is part of the Systems and Information Stream.
