The Centre for Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering draws on two research units recognised for their scientific excellence and their contributions to the challenges of modern healthcare. These multidisciplinary collaborations make it possible to integrate innovative approaches in the fields of biomechanics, biomaterials, digital health, and information systems.
SAINBIOSE
This research unit, affiliated with INSERM, focuses on understanding and modelling biological and mechanical interactions in living systems. Its main research areas include the study of biomaterials and implantable medical devices, the biomechanics of soft and hard tissues, and multi-scale modelling of complex biological systems.
LIMOS
Affiliated with the CNRS, LIMOS is a cross-disciplinary research unit specialising in the optimisation of complex systems, numerical modelling, and artificial intelligence. Its main research areas include the development of optimisation algorithms for healthcare and industry, the modelling of logistics and hospital flows, and the application of artificial intelligence to clinical decision-making processes. Flagship projects include optimising patient care pathways in hospitals and predictive management of medical resources using AI. LIMOS also participates in European and national projects in the fields of hospital logistics and e-health.
A synergistic collaboration in the service of healthcare
These two research units enable the Centre for Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering to carry out cutting-edge work at the intersection of biology, mechanics, computer science, and public health. Together, they actively contribute to the production of new knowledge and to improving medical and industrial practices.
