Regenerative Bioengineering

The image depicts a microscopic view of a cellular structure with numerous circular blue elements scattered throughout a textured, grayscale background. The scene resembles a cross-section of complex organic material with various bubble-like formations.

Disease Modelling

Engineering smarter ways to repair damaged tissue, combining biomaterials, cell biology and advanced manufacturing.

A scientist in a white lab coat and safety goggles is working in a laboratory. The scientist is interacting with a computer and a large, complex piece of lab equipment that is likely used for automated processes. There are several objects present including a cardboard box labeled 'Glass Disposal', various laboratory instruments, and a computer monitor displaying data. The lab is well-lit and organized with cabinets and shelves containing various lab supplies.

Biomedical Technologies

Developing bioengineered tools that help researchers understand disease and create safer, more effective treatments.

A laboratory setting features a high-powered microscope with several lenses and adjustment knobs placed on a countertop. Nearby, there is a white device labeled 'Quick Fix' alongside other laboratory equipment. The setting appears orderly, illuminated by natural light from a window with blinds in the background.
Several people are gathered around a table, appearing to be engaged in a collaborative task or discussion. One person is using a camera on the left side of the image, possibly recording the activity. The room has wooden furniture, a tiled floor, and there are electronic devices and bottles of water on the tables. The atmosphere seems focused and productive.

Research Gallery

Research images capture our bioengineering group’s work across cells, materials, devices, and clinical possibilities.

A microscopic image showcasing a cluster of cells. The cells are vibrant with green, red, and blue fluorescence, indicating various staining or molecular labeling. The majority of the cells are tightly packed in the upper portion, while fewer cells are scattered below against a dark background.
A person is closely examining something using a microscope in a dimly lit room. The ambient lighting creates a striking contrast of purple and blue hues, casting shadows and highlights on the laboratory equipment.
A close-up view of a robotic device, featuring a prominent lens or camera at its center. The design includes smooth, curved surfaces with a mix of futuristic elements. In the background, a circular, wheel-like structure adds depth to the composition.
A laboratory setting featuring advanced equipment, including a white Rephile machine with digital controls and various attachments. In the background, there are large lab cabinets and ventilation hoods, with a bright, well-lit environment.
A detailed 3D printed model of a human heart with intricate, lattice-like patterns is displayed on a transparent circular stand. The heart is primarily light orange in color, situated against a dark background, which highlights its features and structure.
