    Application of engineering in

    biology
    Dr Nishu Goyal
    Department of Chemical engineering, UPES
    Bioengineering
    • The application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering
    to create usable, tangible, economically viable products
    Examples
    • bacteria engineered to produce chemicals
    • new medical imaging technology
    • portable and rapid disease diagnostic
    devices, prosthetics, biopharmaceuticals, and tissue-engineered
    organs
    Chemical engineering applications
    • Biochemical engineering, also known as bioprocess engineering,
    is a field of study with roots stemming from chemical
    and biological engineering.
    • Deals with the design, construction, and advancement of unit
    processes that involve biological organisms or organic molecules
    and has various applications in areas of interest such as biofuels,
    food, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and water treatment
    processes
    • Role of a biochemical engineer is to take findings developed by
    biologists and chemists in a laboratory and translate that to a
    large-scale manufacturing process.
    Petrochemical engineering applications
    • Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is an alternate recovery
    method that uses microorganisms and their metabolic products :
    Biodesulfurization, biodemetallation, biodenitrogenation and
    biotransformation
    • Versatility of microbial metabolism and its intrinsic ability to mediate
    transformation of complex raw materials at a wide range of reaction
    conditions
    • Petroleum Geomicrobiological prospecting, MEOR, Microbial
    biodesulfurization of different petroleum streams,
    Biodenitrogenation, Biocracking, Pipeline biocorrosion
    GIS/GSE engineering applications
    • Biological invasion is an increasingly important scientific research
    area because of possible ecological and economic impacts of species
    invasions
    • GIS (Geographic Information System) can aid in analyzing
    potential biological species invasions by modeling the spatial spread
    of exotic species
    • Tools for prediction of epidemic for the intervention measure
    • To better understand and manage natural and built environments,
    investigate the spread of disease, locate services, guide route
    selection or mine the big data of social media to understand human
    behavior, mobility and communication patterns
    Mechanical engineering applications
    • Biomechanics - study of living organisms including their kinematics
    • Carbon nanotubes antibodies now exist that can identify and destroy
    tumor cells. Many experiments have been done to show the
    possibility of anticancer immune reaction increase of tumor cell by
    using CNTs as delivery Media
    • CFD software like Ansys, Solidworks, OpenFOAM, ADINA, etc. are
    playing a key role in medicine and biology, where researchers create
    virtual reconstructions of different human organs, surgical options,
    and blood flow system.
    Biomedical engineering
    • Application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine
    and biology for healthcare purposes
    • Tissue engineering
    • Genetic engineering
    • Neural engineering
    • Pharmaceutical engineering
    • Clinical engineering
    • Bioinformatics
    • Biomechanics
