Bioengineering Abdullah Gül University (AGU)

Overview

Key facts

Abdullah Gül University (AGU) Bioengineering incorporates different fıelds. One of those fıelds is biomedical computing and screening which identifıes biomaterials that are inspired by nature. Another subject that falls under biomedical engineering is the technology of biomedical devices that is involved in synthesizing artificial tissues in addition to “smart” drug carriers, sensory-chip systems for disease diagnosis and treatment and all assistant biomedical equipment that are involved in disease screening. Bioengineering also comprises the biosynthesis of animal and plant products. In addition to that, it is involved in cellular and molecular engineering and regenerative medicine, which deals with recombinant DNA technology, welfare and control of foods, development and control of new biotechnological products with high added value such as GMO.

In other words, bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field that merges both basic sciences and engineering.
