Professor Michael Hughes
DSc FLSW
Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Khalifa University
Professor Michael Hughes’ research in biomedical engineering explores the interaction between cells and electric fields; he uses this to study how cells interact with their environment, to diagnose diseases such as cancer, and to examine ways in which cells use their own electrical properties to interact with other cells. Additionally, he develops the machines needed to make these measurements, and works with companies that have been established to bring his technology to market.
