Biomolecular Engineering

Biomolecular Engineering is a rapidly growing and important field of engineering which involves the manipulation of biological and biochemical molecules for technological applications. It applies engineering principles, such as design and system integration, to the development, production and modification of new or existing biomolecules and biopolymers systems. This technology has enabled valuable advancements in biomedicine, bioenergy and bioproduction, as well as new approaches to environmental issues such as pollution control and bioremediation. Biomolecular engineers are primarily focused on the development of new devices, materials and processes which use biological molecules in the production of goods and services. For example, these technologies are used to create cellular-level diagnostics, drug delivery systems and biomaterials, as well as other innovative biomedical products. The potential of Biomolecular Engineering to create new applications and solutions to global challenges is immense, and its importance is only expected to grow.
