Bioengineering

Bioengineering is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together knowledge of biology, physics, chemistry and engineering to create cutting-edge tools for the study of biology or the practice of medicine. This rapidly growing field provides a new level of understanding of biological systems, ranging from the molecular scale to entire organisms, by applying engineering-based analytical and experimental approaches.
