Biological engineering or bioengineering is the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create usable, tangible, economically viable products. [ 1] Biological engineering employs knowledge and expertise from a number of pure and applied sciences, [ 2] such as mass and heat transfer, kinetics, biocatalysts ...
Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms.
The American Chemical Society defines biotechnology as the application of biological organisms, systems, or processes by various industries to learning about the science of life and the improvement of the value of materials and organisms, such as pharmaceuticals, crops, and livestock. [ 6]
Bionics. Robot behaviour (bottom) modeled after that of a cockroach (top) and a gecko (middle) Bionics or biologically inspired engineering is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design engineering systems and modern technology. [ 1]
Hemodialysis, a process of purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. Biomedical engineering ( BME) or medical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare applications (e.g., diagnostic or therapeutic purposes).
Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [a] Computational systems biology [b] [1] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems. It involves the use of computer simulations of ...
High-throughput screening ( HTS) is a method for scientific discovery especially used in drug discovery and relevant to the fields of biology, materials science [ 1] and chemistry. [ 2][ 3] Using robotics, data processing/control software, liquid handling devices, and sensitive detectors, high-throughput screening allows a researcher to quickly ...
Bio-inspired computing, short for biologically inspired computing, is a field of study which seeks to solve computer science problems using models of biology. It relates to connectionism, social behavior, and emergence. Within computer science, bio-inspired computing relates to artificial intelligence and machine learning.
