Biomedical Applications

  1. Neural Engineering and Cognitive Neural Science - a converging discipline of cognitive neuroscience, biomedical science, information and electrical engineering technology. In this discipline, the main goal is to conduct basic and applied research in neuro-engineering and study the function of neurophysiology and neural network.
  2. Bio-nanotechnology focuses on the development and study of nanotechnology in sensing and targeted molecular delivery system. With the application of biomarkers and biosensors, the nanotechnology has brought the employment of compatible and detectable new materials in nanoscale dimensions. Targeted nano-biosensors can detect particular molecules in human cells, and use these biomarkers to determine the occurrence of diseases. Targeted molecular delivery system can directly deliver medicine to contaminated cells, therefore improves the effectiveness of medicine and the control of contagious diseases and reduces the side effects of medicine at the same time.
  3. Biosensor is a growing specialty of biomedical engineering applied to disease detection and diagnosis due to its high sensitivity. Biosensor has a major potential in biomedical technology. The integration and cooperation with Electronics Engineering, Micro Nano fabrication engineering, Life Science and Biotechnology in NCTU will cultivate diverse detection theories for the advancement of biomedical industry.
  4. Translational Biomedical Engineering describes a new perspective of translating the research of basic medical sciences to the area of clinical diagnosis or treatment. In the early stage of the development, there are three specialties in BME institute: targeting molecule, rational drug design and animal experimentation.
