Trinity’s Tríona Lally explains why her heart lies in the world of biomedical engineering and why academic metrics need to change.

How healthcare will be handled in the future is likely to be determined by the innovations that are developed from research done in the here and now. One element of this research is the area of bioengineering.

In the context of health and medicine, bioengineering applies engineering principles to biological systems and biomedical technologies. Examples of this in action include medical implants for drug delivery, robotic and laser assistive tools for surgery and prosthetics, and exoskeletons.

For bioengineering professor Tríona Lally, her interest started with how the body worked. “I considered medicine as a career option but at the...
