3rd International Symposium in Biomedical Engineering
This is a joint symposium between the University of South Africa (Unisa), the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) , Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), and the University of Johannesburg (UJ).
Date: 22 - 23 September 2022
Special focus: "Understanding the fundamentals of biomedical tissue; modeling and characterisation of soft tissue and biomaterials; cell biomechanics; functional tissue engineering’’
We aim to be the best in our field in the development of understanding of medical materials, to prevent and cure human diseases. Our primary aim as a Biomechanics Research group is to understand the material behaviour of tissues in solving health challenges and various diseases.
Our research investigations include theoretical and experimental work that are aimed at understanding a wide variety of mechanisms of medical conditions. Research projects are designed to achieve scientific insights to better prevent human diseases and better understand the healing processes and the mechanisms of medical conditions. The nature of this research requires a multidisciplinary approach, including among medical specialists, biologists, material engineers and scientists. Biomechanics is the study of biological systems through mechanical principles. Biomechanics is closely related to engineering because it often uses traditional engineering sciences to analyse biological systems.
