Health and Medicine
Improving Patient Care and Outcomes
Materials science and engineering play a crucial role in improving health and medicine by developing advanced materials and technologies that enhance biomaterials, biological sensors, drug delivery systems, medical implants, diagnostic tools, pharmaceuticals and tissue engineering, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes. This area of research often employs high-performance computing techniques to assemble, build and image soft materials.
