Premium Biomedical Laboratory
Premium International - University of Moratuwa Research and Development Laboratory for Biomedical Technologies is the latest addition to the industry sponsored laboratories at the Department. The Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering has identified Biomedical Engineering as a key focus area and collaborated with the medical professionals in the development of novel medical product prototypes over the last few years. A major obstacle the Department faced throughout has been the inability to commercialize the novel products developed, despite the potential. IN view of this, the lab focuses on medical product development for commercialization, addressing a long felt need of traversing the full path of product development. It is a place for creative medical professionals to take their innovative ideas from concepts to marketable products. The laboratory strives to comply with standards related to medical devices in developing products that can win the confidence of the medical community. The laboratory also focuses on applied research related to EEG, tele-medicine, image guided therapy with the objective of developing futuristic products that will have a global appeal. In this process it will encourages the research engineers to acquire postgraduate degrees based on the work done at the laboratory. Premium International - University of Moratuwa Research and Development Laboratory for Biomedical Technologies employs a few motivated and talented research engineers, and accommodates interns for research and development activities.
