About the Department
Established in 2020, The department offers a world-class setting for cross-disciplinary biomedical engineering research and collaborate with medical experts to create technologies that enhance and save lives by fusing a wide range of engineering disciplines with human biology and medicine. The Institute’s primary research goals are to create innovative medical devices, systems, and technologies that can significantly improve healthcare, as well as to use new engineering technologies in clinical settings. (e.g., prosthetic devices, imaging systems, and biopharmaceuticals).
What is Biomedical Engineering?
Biomedical engineering has made previously unthinkable advancements such as cochlear implants, heart pacemakers, MRI scanners, hip and knee replacements, laser surgery, and prosthetic organs—innovations that are practically universal—a reality.
Orthopaedic, cardiovascular, and drug delivery systems are among the implantable medical devices created and produced by biomedical engineers. Some of the most current breakthroughs they have introduced to the globe in recent years include bionic organs, robotic limbs, heart support pumps, and heart valves implanted via minimally invasive day surgeries.
Some biomedical engineers work on cutting-edge technologies like tissues and organs that can be created through tissue engineering, or they enhance the designs of therapeutic equipment like bionic limbs for the injured and individuals with disabilities. External medical tools that aid in diagnosis and treatment include augmented reality gadgets, medical imaging equipment, and data-driven solutions like e-medicine.
