Generic Research
Under the direction of Prof. David
Williams FREng, the Department
of Clinical Engineering at the University of Liverpool has been at
the forefront of research in biomaterials,
biocompatibility and tissue engineering for over 20 years. The
Department was awarded one of the first Joint Infrastructure Fund
grants to construct new laboratories specifically for Biomaterials
and Tissue Engineering research. The Department has active
collaborations within the Faculties of Medicine, Science and
Engineering that support basic and clinical aspects of Tissue
Engineering.
The collaboration will address a number of generic issues and
platform technologies, including the following:
Research Overview
The Department of Clinical
Engineering is a joint University and NHS Trust department within
the Faculty of Medicine. The Department encompasses a number of
research and educational activities that embrace many different
aspects of technology in health care. By far the greatest emphasis,
however, has been on its research programmes related to
biomaterials, and the Department has built up a substantial
world-wide reputation in this area. All of the academic staff of the
IRCol are fully involved in these programmes, offering expertise
ranging from materials science to fluid mechanics, and from
biochemistry to clinical dentistry. Click here
