Molecular/(Bio)Chemical/Cellular & Genetic Engineering & (Bio)NanoTechnology

​

 

The previous topics outlined the importance of physics. Indeed, the application of multidisciplinary research involving physics, has yielded revolutionary products in the field of engineering and computing. Miniature mobile technology, is now ubiquitous. Each unit can communicate in a fraction of a second, with another unit at the other end of the world. In addition to its universality, this technology is becoming more closely merged with humans (eg. implanted chips, bionic devices, mobile diagnostic nano-machines etc). In fact, the merging of humans and machines, or nature and artificial products, are a direct result of applied interdisciplinary science at work. The field of biochemistry & molecular bioengineering is particularly exciting. It promises to lead to many advanced technologies in Medicine & Healthcare; Forensics; Genomics; In Vitro Fertilisation & 'Designer Babies'; Genetically Modified Food & Drinks; Stem Cell Regeneration of Central Nervous System Neurons; Prolonging Life; Pharmo-genetic gene therapy in Oncologyu; Optogenetics; BioFuel, Energy & the Environment;
