Biomedical Systems and Robotics for Health

Strategic profile area

When biology and engineering come together, new possibilities for personalized healthcare emerge. At the University of Stuttgart, we create intelligent biomedical solutions by combining deep insights into living systems with cutting-edge technologies.

The future of innovative biomedicine lies in the interaction between biology and technology. The interdisciplinary research area “Biomedical Systems and Robotics for Health” is ideally positioned to shape this future. Our team brings together internationally renowned researchers from the fields of biotechnology and bioengineering, sensors and nanotechnology, bio-intelligent devices and robotics, as well as quantum technologies, modeling and simulation. Our close cooperations with clinical and industrial partners enable us to rapidly translate findings from basic research into personalized biomedical and health technology applications.

Our focus is on three areas:

We use computer-based models (in silico models) to develop smart prostheses and patient-specific exoskeletons. These offer real support in everyday life for stroke patients with neurological impairments, for example. We also design bio-robotic devices that diagnose individual health conditions.

We use synthetic approaches and living organisms such as bacteria or mammalian cells to produce biologics with novel functionalities. We cover the entire value chain from molecular design to the development and production of biotherapeutics. In the future, our solutions could benefit patients with cancer or neurodegenerative diseases, for example.

We develop innovative systems for capturing high-resolution biomedical data. The focus is on non-invasive diagnostics and treatment as well as general medical solutions for the future, for example based on quantum technologies.

Building a bridge between biology and technology paves the way for innovative medical solutions.
