Advances in Biomedical Science

Biomedical sciences refer to a group of applied sciences that apply aspects of natural science for use in healthcare and public health. These applied sciences include medical microbiology, biomedical engineering, clinical virology and clinical epidemiology, among others. These sciences are focused on the study of human health and disease, as well as areas such as human physiology, human nutrition and pharmacology. Laboratory diagnosis is an important aspect of biomedical science. The specializations in biomedical science fall within the array of life sciences, physiological science, and medical physics or bioengineering. Advances in biomedical science have been possible due to an integration of biomedical technologies, biomedical engineering, bioengineering, biotechnology and biomedical informatics. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of biomedical science and the recent researches in this field. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to this discipline. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
