Bioengineering Research Group

Bioengineering Research Group

The Bioengineering Research Group combines significant expertise in the areas of biomaterials and biomechanics. The Research group also collaborates with the Composites and Advanced Materials research groups with the Department. In addition the research group has joint projects with Orthopaedics and other divisions within and the Schools of Medical and Clinical sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Pharmacy, Chemistry and Mathematical Sciences and the University Hospitals.

The group undertakes research in the areas of biomaterials and biomechanics, which includes:

cell surface interactions
tissue engineering structures
in vitro rapid screening
advanced assessment techniques
proteomics, composite structures
manufactured products
modelling, sensors
smart materials and functionalised surfaces
spinal biomechanics, automotive impact biomechanics
Orthopaedic technology evaluation
tissue characterisation
specification and evaluation of tissue engineered devices
modelling - analytical and numerical large and short timescales
development of imaging and analysis technologies

The Faculty of Engineering has developed significant expertise in the area of bioengineering at undergraduate level and at Master’s level, offering four closely related bioengineering courses.
