Welcome to the Discipline of Biosciences and Biomedical Engineering
The discipline of Biosciences and Biomedical Engineering (BSBE) at Indian Institute of Technology Indore was initiated in 2012, with a vision of establishing a centre of excellence that will focus on human resource development and research in areas of Biosciences, Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering. The BSBE group aims to be internationally recognized in bio-related research and to produce the leaders of tomorrow, with the integrated use of training, and career development efforts to improve individual, group and organisational effectiveness in these areas. Our vibrant group of faculty members, staff and research students of the BSBE group aspires to create an ambience for the smooth pursuit of scholarly activities in research and training, leading to novel innovations, in addition to carrying out fundamental studies in life sciences.	With the application of engineering principles, design concepts of biology, medicine and other sciences, the BSBE group desires to devote its energy and expertise towards translational research in the areas of Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering, to achieve improved longevity, health and well-being for humans. The BSBE group seeks to pursue research and development activities resulting in new discoveries in imaging techniques, diagnostics kits, and novel therapies. Additionally, the BSBE group intends to carry out patient-based research in collaboration with physicians at renowned hospitals in India and abroad. Our aim is not only to perform the fundamental biology research and novel technological innovations, but also to take these discoveries to the clinical applications, in true sense "bedside to bench and back".	We seek to create a unique institutional environment to conduct a truly multidisciplinary research that translates scientific and technological advancements into innovations that will not only improves public health, but also immensely contributes in the areas such as agriculture, energy and environment. Indian Institute of Technology Indore is recognized for its science and technology advancement and offers many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations with various departments and research centres including the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Humanities and Social Sciences.
