Head of Group: Professor M Taylor Website: www.southampton.ac.uk/ses/bioengineering
We conduct research in lab-on-chip applications in bioengineering, microfluidics and orthopaedic biomechanics mechanobiology and applications in regenerative medicine. We have significant expertise in applying novel computational and experimental techniques for bioengineering applications, and in experimental analysis of biological and engineered biomaterials at the cellular, tissue and organ levels.
