PROJECT TITLE :

From X-rays to DNA: How Engineering Drives Biology [Book Review]

ABSTRACT:

This book presents a easy argument that there are many instances with a period of forty or therefore years from the discovery of a technology to the development and utilization of such equipment in the biologists??? laboratory such that DNA analysis could be performed. The case is created that many Nobel Prize-winning discoveries were the result of multiple years of study facilitated by technology that had evolved over a period of approximately forty years; some were achieved in way less time thanks to collaborative efforts. These enabling technologies embrace radioisotopes, improved imaging technologies, electrophoresis techniques, microarrays, and also the like. To speed up the method, the author argues for concurrent engineering apply, where biological (or clinical) analysis efforts are directly supported by concerned, hands-on engineers or technicians. The text will be used as a discussion purpose when soliciting for funding, as there are some smart arguments presented. It is not a classroom text and is heavily oriented toward research in biology. The fields of biomedical and/or biological and/or clinical engineering (personnel, exemplars, and contributions) don't seem to be thought-about.
