Overview
Dalhousie University 's School of Biomedical Engineering is a collaborative effort of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering.
Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles to probe biomedical systems and to design technologies that improve healthcare. Research in biomedical engineering is multidisciplinary, often combining equal parts engineering and medicine.
Biomedical engineers take an engineering approach to health research problems. Faculty and students in the department research:
- synthesis of new tissues, drugs and biomedical materials
- development of novel biomedical devices
- mechanical and electrical properties of tissues
- operation of physiological systems in the body
- human motion and gait
- development of new medical imaging systems and techniques
