What do bio engineers do, are they like biomedical engineers?
Main Post:
I love engineering but am more familiar with the computer engineering side of things, but lately ive become more intrigued by the bio and biomedical side of engineering and would like to know more about what you all do.
Top Comment: I’m in bioengineering, specifically in regenerative medicine. My colleagues and I create various medical devices for different things. I’m working on a brain device to directly deliver drugs for cancer treatment & within that same device will be a neural electrode for deep tissue imaging and to record and stimulate electrical signals. I have a friend who is creating a device aimed for people with cleft palate. Another friend who’s working on creating scaffolds for spinal cord injuries (hopefully to bring back movement to paralyzed patients). Within all this we also have ppl in our lab who mainly do data analysis, they help with wet lab work but they also help us to translate the data.
