Overview

Master of Engineering Science (MESc) - Biomedical Engineering, Biomaterials

Biomedical Engineering (BME) graduate students have access to outstanding research experiences and facilities across campus, including:

Western University Engineering, the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Robarts Research Institute, Lawson Health Research Institute, and the teaching hospitals at Western University.

Biomedical Engineering research at Western University promotes collaborative, multi-disciplinary research, focusing on biomaterials, biomechanics, imaging and robotics.

Western provides a unique experience for interactions with the medical faculty. 

Many students work in a clinical environment and hence conduct research that has the potential for a significant impact on patient care.

Research focus areas include: 

  • Tissue scaffolds support the growth, differentiation, and regeneration of cells and tissues
  • Injectable hydrogels, nanoparticles and microparticles for localized delivery and controlled release of therapeutic agents
  • Nanoparticles for use in biosensors
  • Nanoparticle contrast media for magnetic resonance and optical imaging
  • Smart materials for biosensors
  • Bioactive glasses and composites for use in dental implants
