    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.

Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021)

Strathclyde’s Engineering submission, which included the research of seven departments from the Faculty of Engineering, has the joint highest impact quality profile in Scotland and joint highest environment quality profile in Scotland, based on GPA as calculated by THE.

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:

Medical devices

Medical devices & diagnostics

We have three main areas of research - minimally-invasive diagnostics, sensors for cell & tissue engineering/implanted devices, and point of care (POC) patient monitors.

Mako robotic arm

Rehabilitation engineering

We apply scientific and engineering principles to research which is related to the musculo-skeletal system - the human body.

Cell tissue and organ engineering

Cell, tissue & organ engineering

Our research looks at cellular interactions, cell and tissue engineering and the development of artificial organs.
