Biochemical Engineering: Bridging Biology and Engineering for a Sustainable Future
Author(s): Kimoshu Juan*
Biochemical engineering, an interdisciplinary field at the crossroads of
biology and engineering, holds significant promise for addressing global
challenges and driving sustainable solutions. This article explores the
fundamental concepts and applications of biochemical engineering,
highlighting its role in bioprocess engineering, metabolic engineering,
and the integration of bioinformatics and systems biology. The field's
applications range from pharmaceuticals to environmental protection,
bioenergy production, and the development of bioplastics and biobased
materials. Despite the remarkable potential, biochemical
engineering faces challenges in scaling up processes to industrial levels.
However, with the integration of synthetic biology and computational
tools, the future of biochemical engineering appears bright, poised
to revolutionize industrie.. View More»
