Biological engineering or bioengineering is the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create usable, tangible, economically viable products. [1]
Biological engineering is the biology-based engineering discipline that integrates life sciences with engineering in the advancement and application of fundamental concepts of biological systems from molecular to ecosystem levels.
May 18, 2021 · According to IBE, “Biological engineers study biological processes and integrate them with engineering principles to develop solutions for a wide variety of technical problems.”. In other words, it’s the application of engineering principles to analyze and solve problems within — and by utilizing — biological systems.

Scientists were able to sequence and publicly share the whole COVID-19 genome just weeksafter the first cases were reported in December 2019. This unprecedented speed was made possible by recent advances in biological technologies: when SARS broke out in 2002, it took more than five months for scientists to release full genome sequencing of the vir...
Bioengineering is one area of biological innovation, propelled by a series of breakthroughs including the mapping of the human genome (completed in 2003) and the decreasing cost and speed of sequencing DNA. Advances in computing, data analytics, machine learning, and AI are also powering the change. Biological innovations are grouped into four area...
As we’ve seen, human health and performance has the clearest pipeline from research to commercialization. The science is advanced, and the market is generally accepting of innovations. But more than halfof the direct impact of bioengineering applications McKinsey has studied will likely be outside health over the next ten to 20 years. Let’s break d...
From 2019 to 2021, venture capital companies invested more than $52 billion in therapeutic-based biotech companies globally. Two-thirds of that went to start-ups with platform technologies, particularly those that can tailor treatments to individual patients and deliver the therapies to the target site with great accuracy. Six platformsin particula...
If this all sounds a little too sci-fi for your comfort, you’re not alone. Many observers are concerned about the risks involved with bioengineering; even bioengineering proponents admit that risks could include potentially disastrous consequences at the population level. Needless to say, these risks could outweigh the benefits. Here are a few of t...
Beyond the serious risks that need to be reckoned with prior to and concurrently with further development of bioengineering applications, McKinsey sees three stages of the journey to adoption. First, investment in scientific research—meaning funding, tools, talent, and access to data—is needed to enable bioengineering scientists to succeed. It gene...
Change is coming. These fundamental shifts in biological science may confer significant benefits; to capture them, four groups of stakeholdersneed to work to understand the science and ensure that innovation is safe. Innovators.Scientists govern their own research processes via peer review. But scientists also need to take into account the views of...

Aug 25, 2023 · Biological engineering, often known as bioengineering, stands as a dynamic crossroads where biology, engineering, and a spectrum of scientific disciplines intersect. This multifaceted field...
The mission of the Department of Biological Engineering (BE) is to educate next-generation leaders and to generate and translate new knowledge in a new bioscience-based engineering discipline fusing engineering analysis and synthesis approaches with modern molecular-to-genomic biology.
Bioengineering is a discipline that applies engineering principles of design and analysis to biological systems and biomedical technologies. Examples of bioengineering research include bacteria engineered to produce chemicals, new medical imaging technology, portable disease diagnostic devices, and tissue engineered organs.
