The staff in the Biomedical Engineering Research Group is engaged in world-leading research in this area. This team has recently grown further following seven new academic staff appointments, including a Chair in Biomaterials, made after a wide-ranging departmental strategic review. The new staff complements existing research strengths within the department and with other groups at UCL engaged in biomedical engineering research, in particular:

• Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering Centre of the Academic Division of Surgical & Interventional Sciences
• Institute of Orthopaedics & Musculoskeletal Science at Stanmore
• The Centre for Clinical Science & Technology Continence and Skin Technology Group
