Mission Statement

To be a Centre of Excellence for Biomaterials Research Engineering and Education
 

Objectives

1. To serve as a university multidisciplinary research centre of excellence linking the faculties of Engineering, Medicine, Denistry and Science to carry out world-class research in biomaterials technology and to assist in the teaching and training of students/postgraduates in bioengineering.
2. To synergise in the development of an Asia-Pacific Concerted Action in Bioengineering so as to target the regional needs, set-up collaboration R&D network and link with industries.

Strategies

1. Focus on collaboration with clinicans.
2. Build on core enabling capabilities in Biomechanical Testing and Instrumentation, Biomaterials Processing and Device Fabrication and Computional Modelling and Design.
3. Encourage and concentrate effort in filling of patents, quality publications and organise international seminars/ conferences so as to build up world-class reputation.
4. Selective collaboration with local research institutions/centres/industries and world-class institutions.
