Special Topic: Advanced Biomaterials

This course explores the design, fabrication, and application of materials for medical devices and implants, with a focus on innovation and real-world performance. Students will study how materials are selected, tested, and adapted for biomedical use, engage with emerging technologies such as bioprinting and scaffold customisation, and analyse case studies spanning orthopaedics, soft tissues, and global contexts. Building on ENME307, the course bridges materials science and biomedical engineering, preparing students to address complex challenges in healthcare design and to pursue advanced study in biomedical innovation.
