The primary research activities within the Graduate School of Biomedical
Engineering (GSBmE) are in the general areas of biofluid and solid mechanics,
biophysical monitoring and modelling, and cell and tissue engineering. Laboratories
associated with the School are involved in a further wide range of biomedical
engineering activities, covering arterial function, biomechanics, orthopaedics,
neurophysiology, electrophysiology and instrumentation.
The School's in-house research has a dominant emphasis on health care
delivery. There is close cooperation between our staff and clinicians
and other associates at various Sydney hospitals (e.g. Prince of Wales, Royal
North Shore, St. George, St. Vincent's, and Westmead) as well as teaching
hospitals in other States of Australia.
Major therapeutic objectives are:
(i) to obtain increased knowledge of both healthy systems and failing organs
to aid preventative medical care and future device development,
(ii) to improve the quality of patient treatment by design and evaluation
of alternative treatment modalities, and
(iii) to reduce costs of health care delivery without compromising treatment
efficiency.
Specific research areas include the following:
Biofluid and Solid Mechanics
Biophysical Monitoring and Modelling
Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
