DESCRIPTION:<h3>Single component biology is past\; Bioengineering has begu
 n</h3>\n\n\nIntegration of different fields within biological research is 
 now obligatory for scientists seeking to answer challenges in human health
  and medicine. These are the days of vast data sets\, novel systems and co
 mplex information. The future of biology is now not limited to biologists\
 , chemists and medics but one also involving mathematicians\, physicists a
 nd engineers. The huge influx of new ideas and principles being brought in
  from these ‘foreign’ disciplines means we are no longer restricted to
  reductively studying biology but can apply these to biotechnology\, medic
 ine and engineering.\n\nDevelopments at the University of Cambridge have b
 een wide ranging and significant\; from synthetic biology and biofuels to 
 cellular biomechanics and tissue engineering. This HORIZON seminar\, takin
 g place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences\, will demonstrate how bio
 engineering exploits these new developments and applies them to providing 
 technical solutions to current and emerging health and environmental conce
 rns.\n\nThe event will be of vital interest to pharmaceutical and medical 
 device manufacturers\, researchers in the agrichemical\, environmental and
  biotechnology sectors\, and doctors and other health professionals. \n
