About Department
The Biological Engineering program is a graduate and doctoral program at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi that focuses on teaching and research that applies engineering knowledge and understanding to solve biological problems and living systems. Lecturers and researchers in the program have expertise from various fields and work together to create innovative research. The program’s research focuses on Biomaterials and Biomechanics and Computational Bioengineering. Under these two research groups, there are many sub-research projects such as Biomaterials, Biomechanics, Cell and Tissue Engineering, Drug Delivery, Bioimaging, Synthetic Biology and Diagnostic systems. In addition, the Bioengineering program at KMUTT has a Dual Degree program with China Medical University, Taiwan and Osaka University, Japan. Students who join the program gain both educational and research experiences from leading international universities.
Graduate Opportunities
The lecturers and students in the program have published works in international journals and continuously participate in international conferences. Their works have received many national innovation awards, such as gold, silver, and bronze medals from INTRAG, the winner of the Taokaenoi Technology Project, the first runner-up award from the i-MedBot competition. The program has various research partners, such as the Thai Biomedical Network, Siriraj Hospital, Ramathibodi Hospital, Chulalongkorn Hospital, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, and Lerdsin Hospital. This collaboration leads to research to develop medical innovations. The program also has international collaborations, in the form of joint research and long-term and short-term student exchanges, enabling students to work professionally in the medical industry, such as in the field of measurement devices, medical materials, rehabilitation medicine, degenerative diseases, as researchers in government and private research centers, or in the medical education system.
