Different materials and processing techniques have revolutionized the medical field. From artificial hips that keep people mobile to wound dressings that can replace the need for a skin graft, the field of biomaterials and biomedical engineering has refocused the emphasis from the length of a lifetime to the quality of life. Seeking to completely heal wound and cure diseases, cutting edge research in biomedical engineering has drifted towards smart drugs, smart materials, tissue engineering and biofabrication.

The UBT Biofabrication MOOC leads you through a storyline where you follow Emma and Paul, our fictional characters, as they explore the world of biomedical engineering. Our interactive videos enforce all concepts with entertaining scenarios, examples, an accompanying textbook and in-video quizzes. You have the opportunity to learn from international field experts who present highly engaging, application-oriented content that will sharpen your theoretical and practical skills.

Are you interested in multidisciplinary studies that combine engineering, technology, chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine come together and form a new emerging sector?
