It defines the term biomedical engineering and the roles biomedical engineers play in the health care delivery system.
Still the Massachusetts work is one of the most startling efforts in the rapidly evolving field of tissue engineering in which biologists and biomedical engineers are growing living tissue in incubators and bioreactors.
Biomedical engineers require considerable knowledge of both engineering and biology.
Other biomedical engineers work in cellular, tissue, and genetic engineering and develop artificial organs and biomaterials.
But the biomedical engineers who reviewed the gun's safety for The Times said Taser should have conducted far more research.
For years, biomedical engineers have been trying to develop ways to deliver tiny amounts of a drug to a specific target — anticancer compounds directly to tumors, for example.
When he heard about the less invasive and far less expensive procedure developed by biomedical engineers in Cleveland, he asked to take part in the experiment.
Over all, Taser has significantly overstated the weapon's safety, say biomedical engineers who separately examined the company's research at the request of The New York Times.
Medical schools saw their primary mission as churning out researchers, biomedical engineers and academics who could apply the latest research on gene splicing to the treatment of cancer.
Biomedical engineers design and build innovative devices (artificial limbs and organs, new-generation imaging machines) and improve processes (for genomic testing, or making and administering drugs).
Then he ran a cable from a computer to a clinical waveform generator, a device that translates heart rhythm and blood pressure into electrical impulses, and which biomedical engineers use to test the accuracy of hospital equipment.
