Overview of our Research
Biomedical Engineering at the University of Galway is a world-leading research site in Biomechanics, Medical Devices, Mechanobiology, Biomaterials, Computational Modelling, and Tissue Engineering. We are focused on deriving a fundamental understanding of the biomechanics of biological cells and tissues, studying the mechanobiology of human disease, and developing innovative biomaterials and medical devices.
Our research is funded by agencies such as the European Union Horizon Program, Research Ireland, and Enterprise Ireland. We also have significant direct industry funding from leading Multinationals and SMEs in the Medtech Industry.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
-
SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being -
SDG 4 Quality Education -
SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy -
SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure -
