  2. Biochemical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_engineering

    Bioreactor. Biochemical engineering, also known as bioprocess engineering, is a field of study with roots stemming from chemical engineering and biological engineering.It mainly deals with the design, construction, and advancement of unit processes that involve biological organisms (such as fermentation) or organic molecules (often enzymes) and has various applications in areas of interest ...

  3. Metabolic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_engineering

    Metabolic engineering is the practice of optimizing genetic and regulatory processes within cells to increase the cell's production of a certain substance. These processes are chemical networks that use a series of biochemical reactions and enzymes that allow cells to convert raw materials into molecules necessary for the cell's survival.

  4. Biomolecular engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecular_engineering

    Biomolecular engineering is the application of engineering principles and practices to the purposeful manipulation of molecules of biological origin. Biomolecular engineers integrate knowledge of biological processes with the core knowledge of chemical engineering in order to focus on molecular level solutions to issues and problems in the life sciences related to the environment, agriculture ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_biology

    Molecular biology / m ə ˈ l ɛ k j ʊ l ər / is a branch of biology that seeks to understand the molecular basis of biological activity in and between cells, including biomolecular synthesis, modification, mechanisms, and interactions.

  7. Biological engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_engineering

    Biological engineering is a science-based discipline founded upon the biological sciences in the same way that chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering [7] can be based upon chemistry, electricity and magnetism, and classical mechanics, respectively.

  8. Biomaterial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomaterial

    A hip implant is an example of an application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is a substance that has been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose – either a therapeutic (treat, augment, repair, or replace a tissue function of the body) or a diagnostic one.

  9. Tissue engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_engineering

    Micro-mass cultures of C3H-10T1/2 cells at varied oxygen tensions stained with Alcian blue. A commonly applied definition of tissue engineering, as stated by Langer [3] and Vacanti, [4] is "an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve [Biological tissue] function or a ...
