Biomedical Technology cenTre (cTB)

R&D&i Centres

The Biomedical Technology Centre is a research and technology centre at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid that gets together, in collaboration with the partner institutions, researchers from very different disciplines of the biomedical technology with the aim of:. Dealing with major scientific challenges posed nowadays in health and biomedicine,

whose success requires an intensive and steady interdisciplinary collaboration.. Facilitating the development of biomedical technology products for their transfer to

industry. . Creating a favourable environment for the training of new researchers and profes-

sionals in the field.

In this centre, the following groups develop their research activity: Bioengineering and Telemedicine (GBT), Advanced Structured Materials and Nanomaterials (GBMB), Biomedical Image Technologies (BIT), Biomedical Informatics (GIB) and Data Mining Engineering (HPDA).
