Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering are two partially overlapping but distinct fields of study and work.
Bioengineering is a science-based discipline focused on biology and creates a connection between biology and engineering. It sets out to apply the scientific knowledge to relevant problems in an effective and efficient way. Biomimetic is the sub-discipline of Bioengineering that deals with the transfer of biological models and systems to the design of machines and materials. Systems Biology is another sub-discipline that utilizes the engineering knowledge to discover structures, functions and operation methods of biological systems.
Biomedical Engineering is concerned with applying the biological science to medical innovation and bridges the gap between engineering and medicine with the purpose of improving the healthcare area. Amazing progress and development has been made in the fields of diagnosis and therapy thanks to the newly established discipline of Biomedical Engineering through the production of advanced medical equipment and devices that incorporate the biological dimension. Bio prostheses, micro implants, imaging machinery like the MRI and tissue growth are some of the notable achievements of this study field. Bringing engineering to a new level, Biomedical Engineering offers unlimited research, development and growth perspectives.
International Workshop on Brain dynamics aims at highlighting the state of the art topics in the study of functional and behavioral dynamics as well as complexities of the brain by bringing together experts from a variety of interdisciplinary fields involving neuroscience, neurotechnology, engineering, medicine, computer science, mathematics and physics. The workshop targets at senior and junior researchers, scientists, engineers, clinicians, mathematicians, physicists, biologists and students, to inform them about the recent advances in brain dynamics research.
Interested in updating your knowledge in Bioinformatics & Systems Biology fields? This summer school aims at informing the students and young scientists about the latest trends in the field. Our event is organized in partnership with SYSGENET, a COST Action (BM0901).
Wageningen University
Eleven editions were held of the biennial European Training Course on Carbohydrates. Since 2004 a new name was given: the Summer Course Glycosciences. The fifth edition of this re-styled course will be organised in The Netherlands again.
Wageningen University
The course is a 4 days hands-on course with a maximum of 16 participants (PhD's and postdocs are the target group).
Aalborg University
The aim of the course is to give a detailed overview of different biorefinery concepts and to present how different types of biomass can serve as feedstock for the production of biofuels, chemical raw materials and animal feed.
Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
During experiments with process equipment in semi technical scale the possibilities and limitations of the theory are compared with the practical experiences. In addition an improved understanding of the processes, equipment design, operational conditions, measuring techniques etc. is achieved. Training in industrial report writing.
University of Copenhagen
The course will introduce the participants to state-of-art electrochemical and optical microsensor and imaging techniques and to their application in the environmental sciences.
