Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Institute for Life Sciences

We bring together interdisciplinary researchers with expertise across the themes of health and medicine, living systems, disruptive life technologies, and insights through data

Active Living

The Active Living research group aims to enable lifelong active living through enhancing movement and general health.

Bioengineering Group

We apply engineering principles to the fields of biology and healthcare.

Cyber Physical Systems

Our research within the cyber physical systems (CPS) Group involves the exploration and development of theoretical foundations, modelling and programming languages, engineering methods, design tools and system engineering applications.

Skin Sensing Research Group

Our research explores skin health and comfort using sensing technologies. We improve medical devices and wearable products to increase quality of life, patient safety and health outcomes.
