Objectives
The main objective of the Doctoral Programme in Biomedical Engineering (PRODEB) is to prepare an education that specialises in state-of-the-art dissertation topics in several areas of biomedical engineering. The areas of greatest impact are biomaterials, tissue regeneration, biomechanics, simulation of physiological conditions for medical training, simulation of the mechanical behaviour of tissues, bioimaging, biomedical image and signal analysis, and medical devices, with the aim of helping to treat, diagnose and support many diseases and conditions, such as ageing, mobility and the treatment of diseases with a high economic and social impact.
PhD students in Biomedical Engineering are expected to have the following skills
- The ability to carry out independent scientific research and to innovate and develop new projects, processes and products in biomedical engineering;
- Ability to work in industry or applied research;
- Ability to publicise and communicate science and technology;
- Ability to lead teams with advanced knowledge in biomedical engineering, both in academia and in industry and society;
- Ability to carry out innovation and entrepreneurship activities, both within the existing national and international business fabric and in the creation of new technology companies and spin-offs.
