Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for both diagnostic or therapeutic  purposes .The Bone Bioengineering focuses on major areas in bone biomechanics and bioengineering, including cellular/molecular mechanisms of trabecular bone response to mechanical and hormonal stimulation, micromechanics of cortical bone, and intervertebral disc response to mechanical loads.  Additionally BBL is developing 3D image analysis and recognition of trabecular bone microstructure and 3D bone cell culture systems. Leaders have made significant impact and contributions in the following areas, among many others: medical equipment design; respiratory disease treatment and respiratory fluid mechanics; understanding bone-implant interface; scoliosis pathology and treatment; orthodontic treatment mechanics; MEMS sensor development; amputee myoelectric training tools; biocompatible surface treatments; nanotechnology; imaging analysis and optimization; improvement of technology for E-Health; sport engineering; health monitoring; and cellular biomechanics.
