The aims of this module are to:

• To develop an understanding of the principles of Drug Delivery and Targeting
• To give practice in the selection and modelling of drug delivery devices

The aims of the module are:

• to develop competency in a range of practical research techniques used in microbiology, genetics and molecular biology relevant to biotechnology and biomedical engineering.
  
• to advance students' knowledge and understanding of the laboratory practices associated with biotechnology and biomedical engineering research and to apply this knowledge to practical biological experiments.
  
• to implement a working knowledge of the scientific method and philosophy by deploying experimental design and advanced skills in the collection, processing and interpretation of biological information.
  
• to enable students to demonstrate their understanding and practical skills by completing a dedicated integrated biotechnology and biomedical engineering focused interdisciplinary mini-project.

The aims of this module is for the student to:

• Gain an understanding of the methods, components, and applications of select analytical technologies for in vitro biochemical and in vivo physiological measurement.
• Compare and contrast the various sensing design elements
• Critically appraise biosensors for laboratory and clinical environments, including characteristics such as sensitivity, selectivity and biocompatibility.

The aims of this module are to:

• Develop skills to critically review the literature and apply them to scientific and engineering problems;
• Develop knowledge and understanding of data analysis techniques and their application;
• Gain an understanding of and how to apply the ideas to measure unknown quantities.

The aims of this module are:

• To examine the various stages in the design of chemical, biochemical and biomedical products
• To consider a generalised methodology for identifying needs, generating and selecting ideas, designing a manufacturing process for chemical, biochemical and biomedical products and getting the product to market.

The module aims to provide students with advanced knowledge and understanding of a broad set of concepts associated with innovation, intellectual property and commercialisation aspects, focusing on technological entrepreneurship rather than social enterprise.

The aim of this module is for the student to apply classical mechanics to human motion and to develop the skills and understanding for 3D motion analysis, to be able to collect, process, calculate, and interpret kinetic and kinematic data during dynamic activities.

The aims of this module are:

• To give experience of a substantial research project
• To give training and insight into research methods
• To impart the importance of safety issues related to practical work in the laboratory.

The aims of this module is to give students an in depth knowledge of the engineering and biological principles of the industrial production of a range of biologic or biologically-derived products by fermentation and cell culture.

This module aims to:

• Appraise types and properties of materials that can be (i) used for biomedical applications, (ii) derived from renewable sources, (iii) degraded in biological environments;
• Analyse how material composition and micro/nanostructure influence biological environments and degradation processes;
• Assess the design and development of materials of biological relevance and/or from renewable sources.
• Understand different techniques for biomaterials characterisations

The aim of this module is for students to develop an understanding of regenerative medicine.

The aims of this module are:

• To give experience of a substantial research project
• To give training and insight into research methods
