Welcome to the Biomedical Applications Division

As one of the applications divisions of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, we aim to represent all materials engineers and other related technical disciplines with interests across biomedical applications. By providing this important focus within the Institute we hope to raise the profile to all Institute members and to encourage new members through an appreciation of the multidisciplinary nature of our technical field.
The Division helps to represent the UK community by having active links with other relevant UK bodies such as Health Technologies Knowledge Transfer Network (HTKTN), the UK Society for Biomaterials (UKSB), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). The Division also played a key role in the formation of the Association of Institutions concerned with Medical Engineering (AIME), of which the Institute is a founder member. Members of the Division are actively involved in the organization of conferences and events across the UK, Europe and the World. Important forthcoming events include the annual UKSB meeting and the European Society for Biomaterials Conferences (Madrid and Liverpool). Read our mission statement
