Research Areas
Biomedical Engineering is a dynamic, interdisciplinary field that integrates engineering principles with life sciences. At NED University, we cultivate an environment where students gain a comprehensive understanding of its core domains. Our research spans from developing lab-grown organ tissues to mapping complex brain functions, preparing students to tackle tomorrow's healthcare challenges. Explore our active research domains below.
Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering
Our research in biomaterials and tissue engineering focuses on designing novel materials and technologies to repair or regenerate damaged tissues. This multidisciplinary work integrates engineering, biology, and materials science to create innovative solutions like targeted drug-delivery systems and 3D tissue substitutes. Key areas of investigation include hydrogels for cartilage regeneration, smart conductive materials for soft electronics, advanced dental and bone implants, and antibacterial coatings for medical devices.
Neuroscience
This research area brings together engineering, neuroscience, psychology, and AI to develop technologies that enhance the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological and cognitive functions. Key directions include neuromodulation, which applies precisely controlled central and peripheral non-invasive stimulation to influence neural activity, enabling direct interaction between brain signals and their surrounding systems. Applications extend to neurorehabilitation, assistive and adaptive technologies, mental health interventions, and cognitive enhancement, aligning with the department’s mission to translate technological innovation into improved health and quality of life.
Genetic Engineering & Bioinformatics
Genetic engineering and bioinformatics are complementary disciplines that advance our ability to modify and understand biological systems. Genetic engineering directly manipulates an organism's DNA, while bioinformatics provides the computational power to manage and interpret the vast biological data this work generates. Our current research leverages this synergy in key areas, including molecular docking for drug discovery, the development of biological databases, comparative genomic analysis, and computational protein structure prediction and modeling.
Instrumentation & Rehabilitation
Bioinstrumentation and rehabilitation engineering apply principles of electronics and systems engineering to design devices that diagnose, monitor, and aid the human body. Our research is focused on creating innovative assistive and therapeutic technologies, such as advanced robotic trunk, robot-assisted therapy systems, wearable sensors, and brain-computer interfaces to restore communication and mobility.
