what is the difference between biomedical engineering and biomedical sciences?
Hello aspirant,
Generally, I guess biomedical engineering could require higher abilities in math, physics, chemistry, and so on. Besides, biomedical engineering could be regarded as using the engineering methods to solve medical problems.
Biomedical sciences could be “traditional”. Em.. my principle investigators in the lab, who graduated from Georgia tech, always uses this word to describe other labs in our medical school… e.g. other lab may knock out genes and use confocal to capture the change of protein distribution in the cell, and to conclude the existence protein interaction from the microscopic image; but our lab with engineering background may use single molecule technique to directly study the kinetics of protein interaction, inc. the association and dissociation rate and so on.
Hope this helps you
All the best for your future
