"A lot of us, including me, think that during the next 20 years there will be a lot of insights in biomedical research Biomedical research (or experimental medicine), in general simply known as medical research, is the basic research or applied research conducted to aid the body of knowledge in the field of medicine. coming from applying engineering in medicine," said Dr. David Brenner, vice chancellor for health sciences and dean of the School of Medicine. |
