MERG consists of scientists from Anglia Ruskin University, physicians from Mid-Essex Hospitals Trust and Springfield Ramsay hospital and collaborators from industry, who combine forces to address common debilitating clinical problems, such as osteoarthritis and venous ulcers. Our collaboration with the Hospital for Special Surgery aims to advance research on realignment surgery, to delay the onset of osteoarthritis and the need for knee replacement, and to assist with the design of our new Medical Engineering Laboratory in the Postgraduate Medical Institute.

Our research themes fall into three distinct categories:
  1. Orthopaedic
  2. Vascular disease
  3. Medical devices

Aim and Mission

The mission of the Medical Engineering Research Group is to advance the state of the art in research in musculoskeletal, vascular diseases and medical devices through the application of engineering in medicine for improved quality of life. Our aim is to provide engineering solutions to medical problems, through experimental and theoretical assessment, to help improve clinical outcomes of patients receiving conservative and surgical treatments for musculoskeletal pathologies and enhance circulatory function of vascular structures.
