by Sidney Ashworth (Editor)
The branch of medical science that uses physiological and biological principles to clinical practice is called biomedicine. It deals with a wide variety of technological and scientific approaches such as in vitro diagnosis and fertilization. The field focuses on standardized evidence-based treatment that has been validated through biological interventions. It includes the study of physiological processes by using methods drawn from physiology and biology. The discipline involves other areas such as biological engineering, cell biology, gene therapy, biotechnology, systems biology, embryology, molecular biology, nanobiotechnology, biochemistry, laboratory medical biology and other life sciences that are applied to medicine. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. The various sub-fields of this discipline along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. Constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of biomedicine as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
