Make your tailored splash page for Biochemical engineers

Biochemical engineers focus on cell structures and microscopic systems to create products for bioremediation, biological waste treatment, and other uses. Bioinstrumentation engineers use electronics, computer science, and measurement principles to develop tools for diagnosing and treating medical problems.

Tools Used: Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers Bright Outlook Activity monitoring devices. Axial-torsional testing systems. Opto-electronic electrogoniometers. Patient monitoring testing devices. Polygraph recorders. Torsiometers. Two-point discriminators.

There are currently an estimated 170,300 biochemical engineers in the United States. The biochemical engineer job market is expected to grow by 3.3% between 2022 and 2032.

The biomedical engineering laboratories house particle technology equipment including microemulsion equipment for drug encapsulation, sonicators, benchtop scale spray dryers, laser diffraction particle sizer, zetapotentiometer; DNA preparation equipment, gel electrophoresis apparatus; interfacial stress rheometer,

The biochemistry equipment cluster includes an ultracentrifuge, refrigerated centrifuge, various microcentrifuges, protein and nucleic acid gel electrophoresis equipment, thermal cycler, speed vac concentrator, -80C freezer, autoclave, luminometer, shaker/incubator and UV crosslinker.

To enter a degree course in biochemical engineering, the usual requirement is: Three A levels. GCSEs in your A level subjects at grade C or above. A further 2/3 GCSEs at grade C or above. At least two science subjects (from maths, chemistry, physics or biology) are often required at A level.

Biochemical engineers design ways of getting cells to do make or do what they need them to, and then to obtain the product in a way that is useful. The cells could be from animals, bacteria or single-celled animals like algae, each type needs to be treated in a different way to get them to do what is needed.

Students get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment such as a gait and motion analysis laboratory, micro-computed tomography scanner, mechanical testing machine, cell and tissue culture facilities, and fluorescence and electron microscopes.
