It was founded by surgeon René Favaloro in 1992; it obtained its definitive authorization on October 23, 2003, by decree 963/03 of president Néstor Kirchner.

The specific objectives of the relationship between the Research and Development Board and the departmental structure of the Favaloro University are the articulation of the Departments, the Faculty of Medical Sciences, the Faculty of Engineering and Exact and Natural Sciences and the Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery in connection with the research projects.

Other equipments are available including operating tables, anesthesia equipment, monitors, ecography, sonomicrometers, oscilloscopes, defibrillators, PC computers with acquisition systems, respirators, infusion pumps, extracorporeal pump, doppler velocimeter, digital viscometer, oximeters, invasive pressure, diameter and flow velocity transducers.

Nevertheless, the acquired equipment made many basic investigation lines in chronically instrumented animals possible, thus an ideal methodology to study the circulatory system.

Alberto Crotoggini, Juan Barra, Pichel and Willshaw made important contributions to the comprehension of heart and circulatory system mechanisms.

In this analytic area, the main objectives are to simulate differential equations to find the flow movement in rigid and non-rigid tubes solution.

CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software is being used to model stent patency after surgical instrumentation in coronary patients.

Signal communication USB, RS232 and digital filters implementation The main concerns were focused in echographic images.

The automatic non-invasive IMT determination and the diameter evolution of superficial arteries, over different maneuvers, were extensively developed.

The main interest is to develop new models that describe the cardiovascular system, including arterial mechanics, ventricular coupling, pulmonary/systemic circulation studies, under pathological states as hypertension.

This group concentrates the database design and the networks interconnection between different sections in the university, the hospital and the research center.

Nonlinear control of HIV in blood Due to its relation with the most intimate aspects of matter, field theory is the closest branch of theoretical physics to the frontiers of knowledge.

To complete the students development as engineers, three branches are proposed, focusing in the most modern and encouraging domains present in biomedical world.

The aim of the university is to equip students with sufficient knowledge of and insight into the fields of medicine, health care, computing science, physics, electronics and mathematics, divided in three main branches.
