Biomedical Engineering

A centre of excellence

As Biomedical Engineering's Wolfson Building refurbishment comes to an end, take a trip through the building where new facilities designed to enhance the experience of our students and new laboratories focussed on further enhancing our world leading research can be seen.

We look forward to returning to the refurbished Wolfson Building in the spring of 2020.

Nomination for Research Project of the Year (STEM): Limb Salvage

Biomedical technology implemented on the battlefield reducing the need of amputation, isolating the limb with a dual position-variable tourniquet and cooling sock which extendedly preserves the limb, as well as perfusion technology that supports the metabolic and circulatory needs of the isolated limb, maintaining tissue viability post-injury.
