Biomechanical engineering.

Biomechanical engineering is a branch of science that applies mechanical engineering principles such as physics and mathematics to biology and medicine. It can be described as the connection between structure and function in living things. Researchers in this field investigate the mechanics and mechanobiology of cells and tissues, tissue engineering, and the physiological systems they comprise. The work also examines the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases using cells and cultures, tissue mechanics, imaging, microscale biosensor fabrication, biofluidics, human motion capture, and computational methods. Real-world applications include the design and evaluation of medical implants, instrumentation, devices, products, and procedures. Biomechanical engineering is a multidisciplinary science, often fostering collaborations and interactions with medical research, surgery, radiology, physics, computer modeling, and other areas of engineering.
