BIOENGINEERING SCIENTIST AND WHAT IS BIOENGINEERING? By: Isaias Moreno and Hunter isaacs
BIOENGINEERING SCIENTIST Bioengineering scientist Zhang Mike develops critical vaccines for human, pig diseases. Mike Zhang, a professor in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering, which is in both the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Engineering, is researching how to develop a vaccine to combat this porcine pandemic that costs farmers as much as $560 million per year. The disease is one of the most economically devastating illnesses to the swine industry.
WHAT IS SCIENTIST ENGINEERING ? Biological engineering or bioengineering (including engineering is the application of concepts and methods of biology (and secondarily of physics , chemistry, mathematics, and computer science) to solve realworld problems related to the life sciences or the application thereof, using engineering's own analytical and synthetic methodologies and also its traditional sensitivity to the cost and practicality of the solution(s) arrived at. In this context, while traditional engineering applies physical and mathematical sciences to analyze, design and manufacture inanimate tools, structures and processes, biological engineering uses primarily the rapidly developing body of knowledge known as molecular biology to study and advance applications of living organisms and to create biotechnology.
