Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field with course work in engineering and life sciences. It blends traditional engineering techniques with biological sciences and medicine to improve the quality of human health and life. The discipline focuses both on understanding complex living systems - via experimental and analytical techniques - and on development of devices, methods and algorithms that advance medical and biological knowledge while improving the effectiveness and delivery of clinical medicine. Biomedical Engineering Research Group, Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM currently concentrates its activities on the areas of biomaterials (including prosthetic devices and artificial organs), cell and tissue engineering, and pharmacokinetics (drug delivery). With seven members, the group - since its establishment in 2007 has produced 8 patents, more than 40 awards from national and international exhibition, and published more than 40 papers in impact factor and indexed journals.
