    Synopsis

    This bestselling textbook will introduce undergraduate bioengineering students to the fundamental concepts and techniques, with the basic theme of integrative bioengineering. It covers bioengineering of several body systems, organs, tissues, and cells, integrating physiology at these levels with engineering concepts and approaches; novel developments in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, nanoscience and nanotechnology; state-of-the-art knowledge in systems biology and bioinformatics; and socio-economic aspects of bioengineering

    One of the distinctive features of the book is that it is integrative in nature (integration of biology, medicine and engineering, across different levels of the biological hierarchy, and basic knowledge with applications). It is unique in that it covers fundamental aspects of bioengineering, cutting-edge frontiers, and practical applications, as well as perspectives of bioengineering development. Furthermore, it covers important socio-economical aspects of bioengineering such as ethics and entrepreneurism

    Key Features

    Organized and edited in a cohesive manner, with extensive use of diagrams and graphics

    Edited by nationally and internationally renowned bioengineering scientists, two of which are members of all three National Academies (National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering and Institute of Medicine). There are only nine such scientists in the whole world, and only four of these are still conducting active research

    Authored by very distinguished experts, including other members of the National Academies and past or present Presidents of the Biomedical Engineering Society. No book in any field has such a collectionof accomplished authors
