About

Bioengineering science research spans multiple disciplines, and we can be seen in the wide range of facilities within the Biolab facility. 

Our group covers a variety of inter-related activities and we focus on: 

  • nutrient transport and absorption in blood vessels and plants 
  • biomechanics of joint replacement patients and amputees 
  • lab on a chip and sensors for therapeutics 
  • rapid diagnosis and tissue engineering for tissue regeneration and repair
