Essays on Biomedical Engineering

In a recent talk I bared witness to, the age we are in was perfectly described as a “medical industrial revolution”. The intricacy of life and its processes provides a stark contrast to the reality of the industrial revolution. However, the speed and innovation of…

Novel drug delivery systems is a field of which demands constant innovation. The healthcare industry is in continued search for delivery systems which can accurately deliver the drugs to target site with ideally no adverse effects. A poster-perfect drug delivery system is biocompatible and able…

Downstream processing refers to the processes that take place after fermentation to recover and purify the product. Following cell culture, recovery is carried out by centrifugation and filtration from which the resulting cell harvest is transferred to the low-productivity purification processes. Purification of biologics involves…
