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.
