ABSTRACT

Biomedical engineering covers many facets, from chemistry for the development of biodegradable tissue scaolds, to physics to describe the mechanical properties of an implanted material, to biology for the manipulation of cells for implantation as well as the understanding of the host organism that will receive the implant, to mathematics for analysis and modeling applications. is chapter will focus on molecular biology techniques that are commonly employed in biomedical engineering. It will cover dierent ways of analyzing proteins, RNA, and DNA, as well as an introduction to DNA manipulation techniques that are used in genetic engineering.
