Department of Biomedical Engineering & Sciences
The Department of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences was established with an emphasis on the medical research, innovation and commercialization. The key areas of our research are Biomaterials, Bioechemistry, Medicine, Bio-nanotechnology, Neurosciences, Rehabilitation Engineering, Signals and Imaging and Medical Device Designing. All emerging fields in above contemporary areas assists in transformation of disease diagnostics, treatment and prognosis of existing treatments which could help in combating the health challenges in the developing countries. Advance curriculum and student internships support the objective of quality education. Moreover, high external funding secured from different local and foreign agencies aids to execute cutting edge research activities and student support. MS(BME & BMS) & PhD(BME & BMS) program at the department of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences commenced in 2012 and 2014 respectively.
