About
Our research work focuses on medical systems, improving diagnostic processes by automating data analysis and image recognition. We carry out research into the recording and processing of biometric data, particularly from biomedical signals such as electrocardiography and thermography. We are also conducting research in the field of computer-assisted surgery.
We are developing methods and devices designed to plan and carry out minimally invasive procedures based on pre-existing medical imaging. We create virtual organ models to provide surgeons with better visualisation and the necessary software. We are investigating medical information systems, creating and developing distributed medical systems, image archiving networks and data acquisition methods.

About
We carry out research and development work of a cognitive and applied nature in the field of production of metallic biomaterials with modified structure and specific mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity, shape memory and superelasticity) with surface layers (passive-diamond) with good physical and chemical properties and biocompatibility, intended for reconstruction and elastic anastomosis of tissues, as well as construction of a new generation of stabilisers for bone anastomoses with surgical instruments.
We are also involved in research on a new generation of robotic rehabilitation-diagnostic equipment for guiding multi-planar active and passive movement of the lower limbs using neurophysiological methods with full use of rehabilitation control and supervision, involving design, manufacturing, technical and clinical studies.

About
Our main stream of interest in R&D activity is the biomedical signal processing as a component of medical diagnosis in various medical conditions: bruxism, cardiac arrhythmias, gastric arrhythmias, and other. We perform the analyses of biological data with the use of bioinformatics methods.
We conduct research focused on high-through put analyses of genomic data, obtained with the use of DNA microarray technology, as well as proteomic data from mass spectrometry and chromatography, among others. Our special field of interest includes new technologies designed for the preparation of eco-friendly biomorphic carbon/carbon and carbon/polymer composite materials, and the characterisation of their physicochemical properties.
