Key Course Elements: Main Research Areas: Department of Biomedical Engineering: Medical Electronics Biomedical Instrumentation Department of Biomedical Engineering: Processing of physiological signals Modelling of the cardiovascular system - Biomedical Informatics Medical Communication Technologies Other Departments: Systems Biology Bio-MEMS - Telemedicine E-Health Other Departments: Systems Biology Bio-MEMS RESEARCH Dept. of BME: Implants and artificial organs. The interaction of medical devices, prostheses and artificial organs with the human body requires integrative answers. Modern diagnostic and therapeutic technologies permit a ‚journey through the human body‘. Currently research at the BME dept. is focussed on the development of new ultrasound techniques for therapeutic applications at the cellular level. Research in cooperating institutions This part should be no longer than one page. Other Department: a characteristic picture and short outline of a special research area.
