The National Technological University, Buenos Aires (Spanish: Universidad Tecnológica Nacional - Facultad Regional Buenos Aires), also called UTN-FRBA or UTN.BA, is the Buenos Aires–based regional faculty of the National Technological University.
The FRBA's main building in Almagro
It is the largest engineering college in Argentina and one of the most prestigious in the country.
In 2016 and 2019, the UTN.BA received the National Quality Award in the public sector, being the first public Faculty to receive this award, for its excellence in management models.
Lecture hall
The college includes a main building and a postgraduate school in Almagro and a campus in Villa Lugano, both neighborhoods of Buenos Aires.
The GIBIO is a multidisciplinary research group involving physicists, bioengineers, doctors and engineers of various disciplines. Also it consists of students, undergraduate and graduate scholars, and researchers mostly from the UTN.BA. The group functions in the field of bioengineering, especially within the branch of "Cardiovascular Engineering". It is located in the Main Building (Medrano 951, CABA) of the Buenos Aires Regional Faculty of National Technological University and depends on the Secretariat of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (Spanish: Secretaría de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Productiva, SeCTIP). The main objective of GIBIO is the study, research, development and evaluation of methods and equipment for the diagnosis and prevention, mostly of cardiovascular diseases, from its primitive genesis. Also GIBIO collaborates with several reputed international research entities to perform an intensive interdisciplinary research in the field of bioengineering.
Among its current lines of research and development, the key fields are bioinstrumentation, biomedical prototypes development, biomechanical studies of synthetic and biological prosthetics, computational numerical simulation, signal processing, medical image and data processing, big data analytics and internet of things applied to monitoring of cardiometabolic diseases.
