Centre for Applied Biomechanics (CAB) was established under the directorship of Prof. Ir. Dr. Wan Abu Bakar bin Wan Abas in 2008. Over the years, the research centre under the Innovative Technology research cluster continues to uphold its mission of advancing the knowledge of biomechanics through basic science, clinical research and education for the benefit of the nation and humanity.

Through the Centre’s internal affiliations with specialized research laboratories at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and its external affiliations with Sports Centre, Dentistry and Medicine Faculties, the dissemination of applied biomechanics knowledge across disciplines has seen an increase.

The Centre hopes that its continuous efforts in advancing the field of applied biomechanics will see more prolific outputs in the coming years and will surely prove itself an asset to the university and Malaysia.-
