Our Mission
The primary goal of the Asian Cardiac Engineering laboratory is to develop practical engineering solutions to cardiovascular problems, which will improve patient quality of life and health care outcomes. The laboratory originated out of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Malaya in 2011. A team of dedicated researchers and graduated students now work on various projects including collaborators from University Malaya Medical Centre, National Heart Institute Malaysia, University Teknologi Malaysia, Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of New South Wales, The University of Queensland and Texas Heart Institute.
1. Minimize cost and time for cardiovascular disease management, by
a. Providing cost-effective, simple and quick solutions for early cardiac diagnostics and
treatment.
b. Sharing resources among collaborating institutions to expedite research progress
while minimizing research time and cost.
c. Designing research projects in a way to directly benefit the society during the research
study period.
2. Ensure timely graduation of postgraduate students with excellent research quality, by
a. Designing and implementing an efficient student supervision system.
b. Providing abundant opportunities for student attachments in world class institutes, trainings
and joint supervisions.
c. Modularizing research output to facilitate sharing and continuation of knowledge.
Our lab, our 2nd home
