Welcome
The study of human physiology and body function from an engineering perspective is a fascinating and inherently interdisciplinary field that has led to numerous scientific achievements. The overarching goal of this discipline is to apply engineering principles to biological systems, ultimately contributing to the improvement of human health.
Aligned with this vision, the BioMEMS Laboratory focuses on understanding specific aspects of human physiology and developing physical and mathematical models to describe them—particularly through the framework of fluid mechanics. Our research aims to gain a deeper insight into how biological systems behave under various physiological and pathological conditions, and how such understanding can inform medical diagnosis and treatment.
Current investigations in the laboratory address topics of significant medical relevance, such as the development of fatty plaques in coronary arteries, the formation of blood clots in cardiac and cerebral vessels, and the growth of cancerous tumors along with the body’s immune response to them. These studies are motivated by the prevalence of such diseases in Iran and around the world.
To strengthen the connection between engineering analysis and clinical practice, we collaborate with several hospitals and medical specialists, including Tehran Heart Center, Imam Khomeini Hospital, and Rasool Akram Hospital. The outcomes of these collaborative efforts are reflected in research publications in leading international journals, showcasing the lab’s commitment to advancing biomedical engineering knowledge.
