Biomedical Engineering (School of Medicine)

The department of Biomedical Engineering is a new department which is being established within the division of Imaging Sciences and Biomedical Engineering to provide cutting-edge engineering research and teaching to augments and enhance the existing international reputation of the division.

Specialist areas in the department will include:

• Multi-scale and Multi-physics Computational modelling
• Systems biology, simulation of cell signalling and regulation
• High performance computation and visualisation for biomedical applications
• Bioinstrumentation and device development
• Numerical Analysis and parameter estimation
• MRI, CT, X-ray, Ultrasound, PET and SPECT Image Acquisition, Reconstruction and Processing

The main objective of the Department is to pursue high quality, multidisciplinary research internationally. There is a close and vital relationship in our work between problem solving in clinical and biomedical application areas and methodological research in biomedical engineering technologies and information processing.
