Genetic engineers study genes and DNA to develop ways to recreate and modify them to advance technologies in fields such as medicine and agriculture. Readers will learn how genetic engineers are working toward curing diseases in humans and making crops less susceptible to disease. Real-life examples and a design challenge discuss the benefits and risks of biotechnologies.



This book explores the creative ways biomedical engineers help diagnose, treat, and prevent problems found in human body systems. Real-life examples and practical, hands-on activities help readers to understand scientific and engineering principles.
