An inspirational talk on the developing role of biomedical engineering, designed to encourage young researchers to pursue a career in this discipline.
Overview
Few would contest that some of the greatest challenges facing society are: a growing, ageing population; conflict and the legacy of war; and the continued rapid urbanisation of society. Quite simply, we are all wearing out and this is accelerated through trauma: man-made, accidental and through natural disasters. Over the recent decades a new breed of engineer has made great contributions to these challenges and in this lecture, Professor Anthony Bull will not only showcase these advances, but will also highlight how a new generation of bioengineers should be equipped to improve the world of healthcare through engineering.
