This stream focusses on bioengineering problems related to major diseases such as cardiovascular disease, glaucoma and bone and joint disease (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis).
These are major causes of death and of loss of quality of life, both in the UK and internationally, and the new course aims to prepare engineers for a career in industry and research in these rapidly growing key areas.
