Abstract

Over the last 25 years, the field of bioengineering has been revolutionized in both research and education. This has been “fueled” largely by the great advances in biology and medicine over the last few decades, and the significant investments made by the Whitaker Foundation. A new engineering discipline, “rooted” in biology, has emerged which represents a transformation from a discipline based on the traditional engineering sciences to one that integrates engineering with biology and medicine, an engineering discipline based on biology. Bioengineering has become a truly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field with much of the research efforts hypothesis driven and/or application driven, achieving a quantitative, systems-level understanding of the fundamental biological behavior of living cells and animals, and the translation of advanced biotechnologies to medicine.
