Welcome to the BioInstrumentation Laboratory
Brief history of the BioInstrumentation Laboratory
The BioInstrumentation laboratory was founded in 1985 at McGill University by Prof. Ian W. Hunter.
In May 1994 the laboratory moved to the Department of Mechanical
Engineering at MIT, along with five graduate students.
In the last twelve years the laboratory quickly expanded in space, facilities and breadth of projects.
BioInstrumentation
Development of novel modern medical instrumentation requires the combination of many traditional disciplines including biology, optics, mechanics, mathematics, electronics and chemistry.
The Bioinstrumentation Laboratory is uniquely placed to bring together these areas of research with its broad array of students and post doctoral research scientists from Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Biology.
In addition, we have extensive laboratory facilities to allow our researchers to move quickly from a device concept to a prototype and rapidly iterate their designs.
