“Biomedical sciences is an important discipline with an explosion of information and application in various disciplines of science, engineering and medicine. The revolution in biological and medical sciences has impacted academicians, scientists and industrialists alike. As a result, there is a change in the curriculum in biomedical sciences and several modern, present and future modalities have been introduced.

The present book is designed to make the reader familiar with the basic aspects that affect the human health. It also covers the basic and applied aspects in the field. It also includes various aspects on the application of biomedical sciences and potential risks and benefits in terms of growing knowledge in the field of biomedical sciences and technology, stem cell in biomedicine, microorganisms and health, bioaerosols and bioengineered food. Moreover, it highlights on promoting the healthy technology for future safeguard to human life.

It will cater to the students of biomedical sciences, environmental biotechnology, medical physics.”
