FAST Holds MSc. Biomedical Sciences & Engineering Viva Voce Defences
Eight postgraduate students defended research spanning AI-driven disease detection, digital health systems, medical diagnostics, biomedical equipment management, clinical NLP, and biomedical sensing and digital twin technologies.
The Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology (FAST) at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) has successfully held the MSc. Biomedical Sciences & Engineering Viva Voce Defences for the 2025/2026 academic year.
The defence sessions gave eight postgraduate students a platform to present and defend their research, showcasing the depth of innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and problem-solving at the heart of the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering.
From research to real-world impact
The projects defended addressed a diverse range of challenges in healthcare and technology, including:
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning for healthcare and disease detection
- Digital health and intelligent healthcare systems
- Medical diagnostics and mobile microscopy
- Biomedical equipment management and sustainability
- Clinical data and natural language processing (NLP)
- Biomedical sensing and digital twin technologies
These research projects reflect FAST's commitment to developing technology-driven solutions to real-world challenges, while equipping postgraduate researchers with the skills to contribute meaningfully to Uganda's healthcare and technological transformation.
FAST congratulates all eight students on reaching this significant academic milestone, and thanks the examiners, supervisors, panel members, and staff whose guidance and expertise made the defence sessions a success.
