Abstract :
Biotechnology is poised to have a major impact on the delivery of health care, through the development of new drugs and products for diagnosis and monitoring. It is providing and will continue to provide new and exciting research opportunities for Biomedical Engineering. Biotechnology has grown into an important area in which many significant engineering and scientific challenges exist. Vital research in biotechnology is identified especially as they relate to areas in which biomedical engineers could contribute, i.e., in biosensing, control, signal analysis, and computer applications
