Welcome to the department of Biomedical Engineering

Engineering life

The department of Biomedical Engineering is recognized for its leading research in chemical biology, regenerative engineering & materials and biomedical imaging & modelling. The scientific excellence of our senior and young upcoming researchers is fostered in their close collaboration within the department as well as (inter)national partnerships. Together we strive to improve healthcare and society as a whole.

Furthermore, the department educates the engineers of the future by offering in-depth engineering courses, project work, hands-on labwork and challenged based learning. The research and support staff together deliver high quality education in biomedical engineering in our bachelor’s and master’s programs, and for our PDEng and PhD candidates.
