Biological Imaging, Bio mechanics & Bio molecular Engineering

Recent advances in computational and bio imaging techniques have greatly enhanced the ability of biomedical engineers to better understand the dynamics of the human body and functions of living organisms. Specifically, recent advanced computational, mathematical, and physical methods have helped researchers to develop sophisticated techniques that can solve the problems encountered in the fields of bionics and biomechanics and improve the visualization of biological systems and design of new medical devices. Prominent examples include the tagged magnetic resonance imaging for studying brain biomechanics and medical ultrasound imaging for imitating animal echolocation. These advances in imaging and visualization methods are helping identify, classify, and quantify patterns in bionics and biomechanical investigations.

 Bio molecular engineering is the application of engineering principles and practices to the purposeful manipulation of molecules of biological origin. ... The thermodynamics and kinetics of molecular recognition in enzymes, antibodies, DNA hybridization, bio-conjugation/bio-immobilization and bio separations are studied.
