Empowering Healthcare with Technology

The Biomedical Engineering Laboratory in the DEEE is the facility dedicated to the research and development of new technologies to improve human health, etc. Thus we focus on areas related to Electrophysiological Signal acquisition and analysis, Medical image and signal processing, Design and development of bio-instruments, and related activities. The lab is equipped with some specialized equipment such as BioRadio wireless physiologic signal acquisition hardware and Biocapture software system along with the complete CleveLabs Biomedical Engineering laboratory suite. The lab is also equipped with all the sophisticated equipment needed to design and develop bioinstruments.

Our research interests focus on developing new biomedical devices, diagnostics, and therapies. We are particularly interested in using engineering principles to solve complex problems in areas such as neuro-engineering, EEG, EMG and biomechanics, etc. DEEE home to a team of talented and dedicated faculty members and students. BME Laboratory also plays an important role in teaching and training the next generation of biomedical engineers. We offer a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in biomedical engineering, and our students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in our laboratory.
