The Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London dates from 2001 when it was renamed from the Department of Biological and Medical Systems. The department has its roots in two well-established research groups that date back to the 1960s: the Physiological Flow Studies Unit; and the Engineering in Medicine Laboratory.
1963 - 1989 Engineering in Medicine Laboratory
1966 - 1989 Physiological Flow Studies Unit
1989 - 1999 Centre for Biological and Medical Systems
