The department of Biomedical Engineering (BmE) is at the forefront of groundbreaking research in Chemical Biology, Regenerative Engineering & Materials, and Biomedical Imaging & Modelling. Our primary mission is to educate the next generation of biomedical engineers, who are knowledgeable, socially aware, entrepreneurial and responsible professionals.

To do so, we provide a safe and open environment that challenges students and staff to learn, explore and develop their talents. The close connection science, engineering and education, students and staff, is a key principle of our department where new scientific insights and developments are quickly integrated into education and students learn and are inspired by biomedical challenges.

Within the Orthopaedic Biomechanics (OPB) group, we explore and develop (regenerative) treatment strategies for orthopaedic injuries and disorders based on a thorough understanding of musculoskeletal tissue mechanobiology and biomechanical function. This is currently applied to bone, articular cartilage, intervertebral disc and tendons/ligaments.
