BGU | FACULTY OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES

DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

Biomedical Engineering applies technological advances in the service of biology and medicine. We integrate physical, mathematical, and computational sciences with the disciplines of electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineering in order to study physiology, disease, behavior, and health. Many applications involve either diagnosis and testing, or actual medical treatment. Thus, a successful biomedical engineer adopts a multidisciplinary approach to problems. The Department of Biomedical Engineering at BGU was established in 2002 and currently has eight faculty members, who are extensively involved in collaborative research projects with colleagues in the Faculties of Engineering and Health Sciences. Department faculty conduct research in physiological signal processing; computational motor control; medical robotics and remote surgery; biomedical optics; biomechanics of soft tissues; neurophysiological and behavioral aspects of learning; micro-fluidics in medicine and in the human body; nano-bioelectronics; the interfacing of biology with micro-electronics; models of biological membranes; biopharmaceutics; and computational models of the interaction between radiation fields and biological tissue.
