Curriculum:
- The aim of our research in the Biomedical Sciences and Biomedical Engineering research division is to extend life, ease pain, combat disease and enhance the healthy state.
- To achieve this aim, our studies are directed at understanding how both the healthy human body functions and how it fails as a consequence of the many ailments which can assail it.
- At Reading, we have already contributed significant knowledge to this field, and are continuing to extend understanding on multiple aspects of human health.
- By exploiting a range of scientific approaches, encompassing a variety of disciplines, we are tackling modern-day health problems from numerous directions.
- Research within the division is central to the University's interdisciplinary research strengths in health and food, and is thus key in driving these major themes.
