Biomedical Technologies
About
Vision
We are engaged in cutting-edge research in many areas of biomedical technology, which promise to have large impact on health care and quality of life. We use engineering methods to develop new devices, algorithms, and systems to improve disease diagnostics, treatment, and health care delivery.
Innovation
Work in this group spans the wide range from microscale tools for basic science and drug discovery to bedside applications in the clinic. Our interdisciplinary research projects, at the interface of engineering, life sciences, and medicine, include microsystems for single-cell manipulation, photonics for imaging of tissue samples, signal processing for medical imaging, and medical instrumentation and robotics. Strong interaction with the Faculty of Medicine, the International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), the BC Cancer Research Agency, the biomedical device industry, and other many collaborations drives our technology development to address challenges in biomedical engineering.
