WHAT IS
NIB?
The Biomedical Engineering
Departament (NIB) of the Faculties of Medicine and Engineering
is an interdisciplinary group active in teaching, research and
technology transfer in Biomedical Engineering and Medical
Informatics. NIB contributes to the training in Biomedical
Engineering to face the challenges of medical instrumentation in
health institutions. Its participation in university outreach is
divided between the contribution to assistance and the
involvement of students in projects in the area.
Activities:
-
Design and implementation of
prototypes in support of biomedical research in the
framework of masters and doctoral programmes for doctors,
engineers and other relevant training.
-
Teaching and research of project
techniques for the national production of biomedical
equipment as technology transfer.
-
Courses and seminars on biomedical
engineering, medical informatics and their clinical
applications.
-
Publication in journals and
participation in national and international congresses for
the dissemination and updating of research.
NIB has
some teaching positions, awards research grants, makes
international agreements, and executes agreements with
government authorities and companies in areas of its speciality,
always linked to innovation or technology transfer.
Its headquarters are at the Hospital de Clínicas to capture the
needs for new instruments directly from clinical activity. As a
result of an agreement between the Faculty of Medicine and the
Faculty of Engineering, NIB's teaching work is integrated into
the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Faculty of
Engineering and its health teachers are evaluated at the Faculty
of Medicine.
