We're committed to producing high-quality research output, training and knowledge transfer. Much of our work is clinically driven and conducted together with clinical or industrial organisations.

We've developed an excellent research environment that allows new talent to thrive and develop within innovative research programmes and collaborations. These are supported through our established clinical and industrial multidisciplinary networks.

We believe this approach provides biomedical engineering with the capability to continue to prosper in a rapidly evolving and competitive research landscape.

Our researchers

Research students are part of our thriving community of researchers dedicated to advancing the links between engineering, science and medicine.

The department also hosts research centres which are at the forefront of pioneering biomedical engineering-related research:

• Centre for Doctoral Training in Medical Devices and Health Technologies (CDT)
• The Centre of Excellence in Rehabilitation Research (CERR)

Our experts

Professor Arjan Buis, Senior Lecturer, Biomedical Engineering

We've developed the Majicast casting device, which enables more efficient limb socket creation and increased comfort and functionality.

Professor Patricia Connolly, Deputy Associate Principal Biomedical Engineering

I have research interests in Medical Devices and Technology and have combined my academic career with appointments in industry in Italy and Switzerland, researching and developing medical devices. In my own research, we have developed a new device for monitoring moisture in wound dressings, WoundSense. The University is an ideal place to pursue clinically-focused research.
