What specialized courses do bioengineering majors usually take?
Biomedical engineering is a wide-ranging subject, and almost all aspects of life can not be separated from this major. Generally speaking, bioengineering includes molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry and cytology.

There are several engineering mathematics subjects in the basic course, such as advanced mathematics, line generation and probability theory. In addition, I feel as if they are all specialized courses, all related to the above four branches. The following mainly introduces biochemistry and microbiology.

biochemistry

Definition of Baidu Encyclopedia: Biochemistry mainly studies the molecular structure and function of objects, material metabolism and regulation, and the molecular basis and regulation law of genetic information transmission.

Students who have studied high school biology probably know the following concepts: amylase; Urea; DNA, RNA, protein synthetase and so on. These are all important chemicals in organisms, which have an important relationship with some biochemical reactions. Before studying biochemistry, we need to study several basic chemical courses, such as inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry. Generally speaking, the course in this direction is based on chemistry and studies chemical reactions in various organisms, which sounds very interesting.

genetics

Definition of Baidu Encyclopedia: Genetics-a science that explores the laws of biological inheritance and variation in the field of natural science.

This course must be familiar to everyone. Remember Mendel's law? This field was studied earlier. Today, due to the development of biomedical tools, research has reached a very microscopic level, such as the structural level of genetic material. Genetics mainly studies the reproduction of genetic material, chromosome behavior, genetic law and so on.

I still remember the controversial gene editing baby some time ago, which is also a cutting-edge research related to this. The students around me also discussed a lot about this matter. In fact, the tools used for gene editing are very mature, but it is a forbidden area for human gene editing, and scientists have never done it, so it has aroused heated discussion. But the field of gene editing sounds cool. Editing genetic material is a bit crazy.

Generally speaking, undergraduate courses in colleges and universities also include the above four branches. Of course, different colleges and universities may have different branches and offer different characteristic courses, but they basically include the above four directions.
