Also working inÌýBionics, Biomechanics and Biomechatronics:

Bionics, Biomechanics, & Biomechatronics encompasses computational modelling, medical device manufacturing, medical image processing, bioelectronic technologies, smart textiles, wearable assist devices, artificial robotic organs, and surgical robots. We specialise in simulating complex systems to understand the physiology of sensory, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems and their interactions with medical devices. We pioneer healthcare solutions for unmet needs in rehabilitation, cardiovascular diseases, sensory, neurological, and inflammatory disorders, gastrointestinal surgery and other endoluminal interventions.

We excel in rapidly prototyping and developing cutting-edge medical technologies, supported by state-of-the-art fabrication and evaluation facilities for medical devices and soft robotics, along with access to Âé¶¹Éçmadou Animal Services, Gait Laboratories at , the , and the . Our capabilities include advanced tools like multichannel electrophysiology systems and new chip design, which contribute to research projects such as brain-machine interfaces and medical robots.

Other research areas

Materials & Cell Technologies

We work at the interface of biology, materials science, and chemical engineering to expand our understanding of tissue and organ physiology, and to develop innovative biomaterials, devices, and cell-based technologies that enable advanced therapeutic treatments.

Digital Medicine & Digital Biology

Harnessing the power of information and computer technologies, we cultivate new medical and biological methods and tools to support improvements in diagnosis, monitoring and treatment, and help unlock the potential of a more connected healthcare system.

Biosensing & Imaging

We bring together experts in biophysics, chemical engineering and electrical engineering to work on projects that drive advances in diagnostic technology, resulting in earlier and more accurate detection of disease, and more effective treatments for patients.
