How biotechnology and biomedical engineering work toward a shared goal of improving human health? ➡️ Biotechnology uses living organisms and biological systems, applying principles from biology, physics, and chemistry to develop innovative therapies and solutions in healthcare, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental conservation. ➡️ Biomedical engineering, on the other hand, applies engineering principles to create life-saving medical devices, diagnostic tools, and technologies, from prosthetics and artificial organs to advanced imaging systems, that directly impact patient care. Together, these fields create a healthcare landscape where diseases are detected earlier, treatments are more targeted, and medical devices improve quality of life. This results in improved patient outcomes and extended human longevity. Despite their shared interests, biotechnology and biomedical engineering have their own differences, including educational backgrounds, skills, and work environments specific to each field. 🔗 Check the comments for a detailed article to learn more. #lifescience #biotechnology #biomedicalengineering #career

Did you know that the era of modern biotechnology dates back to 1973? That year, scientists Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen pioneered genetic engineering while creating the first genetically modified organism (GMO) 💉 This early discovery opened new possibilities in medicine, agriculture, and various other fields. Since then, biotechnology has rapidly advanced with innovations such as CRISPR-Cas9, gene therapy, immunotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy, and more. While modern biotechnology originated in the US, it has also seen significant growth in Europe, where a vibrant biotech ecosystem has considerably impacted the scientific and economic fields. The fast pace of scientific progress makes it challenging to predict future breakthroughs; however, the future of biotechnology looks promising with the integration of AI, 3D bioprinting, and other advanced tools.
