BS Biomedical Sciences

Biomedical science is the application of biology-based science for medical use, be it research, health monitoring, or treatment. Biomedical scientists focus on how cells, organs and systems function in the human body; an exciting and dynamic area that is highly relevant to the understanding and treatment of human diseases. Biomedical science uses knowledge from biology and other sciences to study diseases and how to treat them. This session will help you acquire knowledge of what biomedical science is about. You will also explore biomedical scientists in practice, products of Biomedical Science, and address some misconceptions of Biomedical Science. Biomedical sciences are a set of sciences applying portions of natural science or formal science, or both, to develop knowledge, interventions, or technology that are of use in healthcare or public health. Such disciplines as medical microbiology, clinical virology, clinical epidemiology, genetic epidemiology, and biomedical engineering are medical sciences. In explaining physiological mechanisms operating in pathological processes, however, pathophysiology can be regarded as basic science. As such the biomedical sciences have a much wider range of academic and research activities and economic significance than that defined by hospital laboratory sciences. Biomedical Sciences are the major focus of bioscience researches. Biomedical Science as a vital force in tackling health challenges head-on ranging from widespread of diseases to ongoing health issues. You will be introduced to some problems in society and explore how they can be solved by applying biomedical science. You will also learn how to identify some problems outside your community that can be addressed by Biomedical Science.
