The Department of Biomedical Engineering equips future engineers to work effectively at the intersection of health and technology. Our students gain hands-on technical experience, access to cutting-edge academic and applied research, and opportunities to work with industry and clinical partners.
Our HDR students lead advanced projects in areas such as medical device innovation, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, biomanufacturing and biomaterials, biomechanics, and digital health, contributing to real-world impact.
We value connecting with our community - if you have questions about learning, research or partnerships, please get in touch!

Our research focuses on four key areas shaping the future of health and medicine:
Creating innovative materials and structures using advantaged manufacturing technologies for implants or medical devices.
Designing innovative devices and solutions to improve healthcare outcomes.
Developing biomaterials and therapies to restore and enhance human health.
Harnessing data and technology to advance diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare delivery.
From nanoscale biomaterials to organ-level systems and population health, our research tackles challenges in healthcare, diagnostics and treatment. With leading researchers, past and current ARC Fellows, and strong local and international partnerships, we drive fundamental and applied research that makes a real-world impact.
We maintain strong links with industry to ensure our programs are relevant and meet the needs of industry, government and the community.
