Research Activities

@The aim of bioengineering research at MEL is to understand biological mechanisms and the relationship between human beings and nature, through the use of advanced technology. Throuch an understanding of the way in which biological systems operate (e.g. the way in which they process information, produce and apply biological materials, and covert energy), it is anticipated that new relationships between biology, physics, and mechanics will be developed, which can be applied to improving the welfare of the human race. Bioengineering research at MEL therefore covers a wide range, from basic investigations of the operation of biological systems to work towards the development of innovative machines, medical and human care equipments.
