The main objectives of IBEB aim to provide increased insights into the following general scientific questions:

Q1. How can we use imaging to detect cancer at its early stages and predict its evolution more reliably?

Q2. Can we use innovative ways to treat cancer and reduce treatment side effects?

Q3. How can we stimulate the brain non-invasively and use it for therapeutic purposes?

Q4. How are functional connections between the different parts of the brain structured in healthy and pathological conditions?

Q5. Can we characterise the neurochemistry, and genetics, involved in cognitive processes, such as social reward and empathy?

Q6. Can autonomic nervous system, and electroencephalographic, responses reflect cognitive processes and predict behaviour?

IBEB AIMS DOING THIS THROUGH

O1. The support of creative and ambitious research.

O2. Emphasizing multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches.

O3. Contributing to the use of physical and engineering principles in Diagnostics and Therapy.

O4. Supporting Biomedical Engineering training of undergraduate, Ph.D. and postdoctoral researchers.

O5. Exploring clinical, translational and multi-disciplinary research opportunities.

O6. Developing strategic partnerships that support and complement IBEB’s scientific strengths.

O7. Developing close interactions with industry and facilitate innovation and value creation.

O8. Engaging effectively with the society.

O9. Increasing young people’s enjoyment and aspirations in Biomedical Engineering.
