This note illustrates how knowledge and
principles of biology, biochemistry, and engineering are integrated to create
new products for societal benefit. It uses a case study format to examine
recently developed products of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries: how
a product evolves from initial idea, through patents, testing, evaluation,
production, and marketing.
The beginning lecture notes describe the
science basis for bioengineering with particular emphasis on molecular cell
biology and systems biology. Topics covered are: Bioengineering Science, Biology
Science, Biological Engineering, BioMechanical Engineering, Bioengineering in
Civil and Environmental Engineering, Biomaterial Sciences and Bioengineering in
Computer Science.
This book provides an
example of the successful and rapid expansion of bioengineering within the world
of the science. It includes a core of studies on bioengineering technology
applications so important that their progress is expected to improve both human
health and ecosystem.
