Biomedical Engineering

Our Biomedical Engineering Research Program applies engineering principles and methods to solve current biological and medical problems.

We are a multidisciplinary program that combines expert engineers, biologists, chemists, bioinformaticians, and physicians to develop innovative technological solutions that improve medical care, diagnosis, disease treatment, and quality of life.

Our program is focused on several fronts to revolutionize regenerative therapeutic strategies through the fabrication of tissues and organs in the laboratory, to advance in the knowledge of the mechanisms of this regeneration, to establish pharmacological testing systems and human disease models. For this, our research work is focused on designing physical “organ-on-chip” models, computational models and fabricating bioartificial human tissues based on artificial intelligence to deepen the knowledge of the disease and predict the efficacy of therapeutic strategies.

Another fundamental aspect of our program is to develop therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring the pathological dynamics of the brain and brain-body interactions.

To carry out this cutting-edge research work, we have state-of-the-art technologies for innovation in gene and cell therapies, 3D printing techniques for tissues and organs, the development of advanced biomaterials, the design of intelligent medical devices and bioinformatics and data analysis to develop computational tools and advanced algorithms to analyze large sets of biological and medical data, which represents a breakthrough in research, diagnosis and personalized treatment of patients.
