Schwan Laboratory inaugurated at GITAM

GITAM School of Core Engineering in Visakhapatnam inaugurated the Schwan Laboratory to support biomedical training and research. The facility, inaugurated by P. Bharani Chandra Kumar, Director, GSCE, offers access to biomedical instrumentation for physiological signal acquisition, respiratory assessment, and biomechanical evaluation.

With equipment like BIOPAC systems, EMG and gait analysis platforms, surgical diathermy units, and defibrillator simulators, the lab aligns with GITAM's B.Tech Biomedical Engineering programme, which integrates biology, medicine, and engineering. Collaborations with medical and industry institutions will provide students with practical exposure to medical-device design, testing, and clinical workflows, as well as research opportunities.
