The National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science at NUI Galway, is an interdisciplinary centre of research excellence, which brings together scientists, engineers, information technologists and clinicians in a team-based, problem-centred approach to research. The Centre's research is focused on innovative therapeutic solutions to current medical challenges including cardiovascular disease, orthopaedics, reproductive medicine, and cancer.

 

 

A particular strength of the NCBES lies in the combined skills and creativity of a wide range of scientific, engineering and clinical disciplines working side by side on challenging research programmes and interdisciplinary education and training programmes.  The evolution and growth of NCBES research clusters has led to a critical mass of expertise being developed in key areas.  This, and strategic recruitment of internationally recognised researchers, has led to the establishment of affiliated Institutes including the SFI CSET, REMEDI (www.remedi.ie), and Institute for Biomedical Informatics (IBI) (www.galwaycancerinitiative.ie).

 

The NCBES currently hosts nearly 400 members, including academic staff, full-time researchers and post-graduate students.  The NCBES has targeted key research domains, on the basis of scientific merit, critical mass, the opportunity for international recognition, regional/national impact and contribution to society.  Through national and EU funding, collaborative networks have been developed in the priority research areas.
