Biological data science is a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of biology, statistics, and computer science. There is a growing demand for professionals skilled in analysing and interpreting data as well as an expectation that students will be familiar with responsible use of Artificial Intelligence to achieve this goal. Upon successful completion of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively analyse and interpret biological data using the versatile and freely available programming language R.

Engineering has transformed healthcare through technologies that restore function, improve quality of life and support the treatment of disease. From prosthetic limbs and hearing implants to cardiovascular devices and tissue-engineered therapies, biomedical engineers combine engineering principles with clinical understanding to develop life-changing technologies. This module explores the engineering science that underpins these innovations.

You will investigate the mechanical behaviour of biological tissues and organs, learning how engineers model physiological systems and design implants and medical devices that interact safely and effectively with the human body. Through lectures, laboratory activities and contributions from specialist clinicians, you will develop an understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, injury and disease while exploring the design of prosthetics, cardiovascular devices, auditory implants and regenerative medicine technologies. Throughout the module, emphasis is placed on translating engineering analysis into solutions that address genuine clinical needs.

By the end of the module, you will be able to evaluate and develop engineering approaches for biomedical devices and implants, combining engineering design with an appreciation of patient needs and clinical practice.

This module provides an introduction to the ways in which engineering methods are used in characterising and modelling the biophysical properties of tissues and organs, and applied to the design of biomedical implants and devices for the treatment of a wide range of human diseases and dysfunctions. In particular, you will learn about the design and function of prosthetic limbs, auditory implants, cardiovascular devices, and how regenerative medicine and tissue engineering are influencing the development of biomedical implants. The relevant background to anatomy, disease, injury, continuum biomechanics and the mechanical properties of biological materials will be covered such that engineering solutions can be presented with respect to the associated clinical needs. In addition to lectures, you will have hands-on lab-based tasks and talks by specialist clinicians.
