Presentation
Life sciences and biomedical disciplines have always benefited from fundamental engineering disciplines contributions. The new developments of some traditional disciplines such as electronics, mechanics and mechatronics, macro and microfluidics, information technology and computational methods find natural and promising applications in the medical field. Even more advanced progress is linked to the growing development of over-disciplinary areas such as nanosciences and nanotechnologies, which promise revolutionary developments in therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
The goal of the PolitoBIOMed Lab Center is to stimulate multidisciplinary research, training and technology transfer in the biomedical sector.
The PolitoBIOMed Lab program in terms of Research and Development focuses on the three areas whose identification is based on the responsibility to respond to the social challenge represented by the growing need for early diagnosis, personalized therapy, activation of the self-healing mechanism, in order to increase the quality of life:

The overall activity in ICT for Health is focused on the development of innovative devices, instrumentation, algorithms, models and strategies for the investigation of physiological systems and pathological conditions.
New Materials and Nanotechnologies for Bio-applications focus on the investigation of the interactions between living and artificial environments at the macro-, micro- and nano-scale.
Integrative biomechanics addresses fundamental clinical problems both at the tissue level and at the organ level using knowledge and methods in the biomechanical field at multiple scales. |
