About Centre for Medical Engineering and Technology (CMET)

The Centre for Medical Engineering and Technology (CMET) fosters collaboration between engineers, physicists, life scientists, and clinicians, driving research at the convergence of physics, mathematics, computing, and mechanical engineering.

CMET boasts state-of-the-art equipment and infrastructure across both the City and Ninewells Campuses. Notably, the Tay Cities Deal has contributed to the refurbishment of Wilson House, which will provide cutting-edge medical technology facilities and create an innovation space for enhanced interactions with industry and NHS Tayside.

The Centre's engineering research is problem-oriented, focusing on the development of solutions to pressing clinical challenges while maintaining a strong connection to the scientific and engineering advancements that will shape future solutions.

The healthcare landscape of the future faces numerous challenges, including evolving population dynamics, heightened public expectations, the demand for improved care delivery, the need for early and minimally invasive diagnostics, and economic constraints.

By effectively bridging the gap between engineering and medicine, biomedical engineers and medical technologists are uniquely positioned to combine a diverse range of skills to address persistent global health issues. This collaborative approach will transform patient treatment protocols, reduce healthcare costs, and ultimately improve the quality of life for individuals worldwide.
