Bioengineering – Current Applications and Future Perspectives

The field of Bioengineering has provoked significant interest both as a theoretical approach towards better understanding of living systems and as compilation of applied methods for improved control over such systems. In the latter aspect significant success has been achieved in decoding biological information formatted as genes and genomes, modeling of biological processes such as metabolic conversion of matter and energy, design and engineering of novel biological parts like synthetic promoters and mutator devices and, finally, development of novel types of bioprocess systems with improved control capability like microfluidics devices. In this work we present the achievements of BioInfoTech Lab in all the above-mentioned applied areas and we elaborate on the future possibilities which the field of Bioengineering provides.
