Transforming advances in photonics and materials into biomedical technologies
As populations age and health costs rise, technology-based health care solutions are more crucial than ever. At the Institute for Biomedical Materials and Devices (IBMD), we’re rising to the challenge. Our research is about transforming advances in photonics and materials into revolutionary biomedical technologies. It responds directly to the needs of patients and health professionals, and provides critical support to the global health care system.
