12. Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine is an interdisciplinary field of Life Sciences and Engineering which involves a group of
clinical therapies and biomedical approaches revolving around Tissue Engineering, Stem Cell Therapy, Molecular &
Cell Biology and Immunology. It is one of the relatively newer fields of study in Medical Science which helps to
treat diseases and injuries through the regenerative capabilities of one’s own body. Just like the skin and liver have
regenerative characteristics which grow back to their original shape and size, there are some organs and tissues that
need clinical therapeutic treatments to bring them back to life.
Also known as the “repair kit” of the body, stem cells are a population of a number of immature tissues that rush
towards the wounded or injured area to start the healing process. However, there are times when the stem cells
cannot get through the affected area owing to a large amount of damage from the injury, and that is when stem cell
therapy comes to the rescue. Stem Cell Therapy is a treatment wherein the Stem Cell Therapist uses stem cells
procured from a variety of sources to cure various damaged or dysfunctional tissues leading to non-serious to life-
threatening diseases or disorders, such as Leukaemia, Sickle Cell Anaemia, Thalassemia, MDS, Aplastic Anaemia,

13. Biomedical Engineers

suitable for a medical implant, such as an artificial ankle
replacement. "Can the material be engineered to
withstand the forces of everyday use?" Alternatively, a
biomedical engineer may work on large-scale
manufacturing of a new drug. Biomedical engineers are
responsible for production intended for human-use in
clinical trials, so how the drug is produced must be safe
and cost-effective so the new treatment can help as many
people as possible.
◦ Neuroengineering and Neural Engineering is unlocking
the inner workings of the human brain, working at the
interface of engineering and neuroscience to
understand, restore, and enhance the properties and
capabilities of the human brain. Research areas include
modeling of neural systems, neural networks,
understanding evolutionary influences in biological
control systems, neurocontrol, neurorobotics, and
neuroprosthetics as well as brain-computer interfaces.
