Abstract

The application of physics, mathematics, chemistry and various kinds of engineering principles to problems of medicine and biology has increased tremendously for the last twenty years. Especially the close interaction between medicine and engineering has resulted in the birth of a new field, biomedical engineering. The role of chemical engineer in this new interdisciplinary area is reviewed here with a brief introduction to other relevant areas like biomechanics and biomedical electronics.
