| description: | Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field that merges biological research with various fields of materials engineering, imaging and sensing, and nanotechnology. The application of advanced materials, nanotechnology and imaging and sensing techniques provides new tools for modern engineers to alter and measure functional properties of biological cells with unprecedented precision. This major has a particular emphasis on the emerging field of bio-nanotechnology, which can be exploited to create new materials for advanced medical outcomes, ie. developing new cures for disease and to regenerate diseased or damaged tissue. The field also applies to imaging sensors for medical and security applications, hybrid bio-electronic devices and even nano-machines. |
