BSC mechanical engineering with biomechanics

Our School offers a broad range of research activities at the intersection of engineering, life sciences, and medicine. We investigate complex questions such as:

• What role do the forces generated by cells play within tissues?

• How are these forces transmitted through biological tissues?

• Can such forces enable mechanical communication between neighboring cells?

• How do insects adapt their mechanical properties in order to survive?

• Can blood clotting following transcatheter artificial heart valve implantation be reduced?

Students are exposed to cutting-edge interdisciplinary research combining engineering, biology, and medicine.
