MSc by Research Engineering (Bioengineering) in Edinburgh United Kingdom | The University of Edinburgh

The Institute for Bioengineering (IBioE) bridges Engineering, Physical Sciences, Biology, and Medicine to pioneer cutting-edge diagnostic tools and therapeutic technologies. Key research areas encompass: Synthetic Biology - designing and building biological systems and devices, frequently at cellular scales, with uses spanning medical treatments to environmental solutions. Tissue Engineering - creating 2D or 3D scaffolds and guidance structures for cells, primarily for therapeutic purposes and novel lab-on-chip developments. Biomedical Modelling and Measurement - analyzing biological materials through computational models and measurements for applications like prosthetic design, vascular failure prediction, and age-related bone studies. Our team also investigates biological materials experimentally, predominantly using non-invasive techniques such as Raman and CARS spectroscopy. Biomedical Devices and Sensors - collaborating with chemists, we engineer silicon-based sensors for basic biological indicators (e.g., oxygen levels) as well as disease-specific biomarkers and treatment monitoring systems.
