Biomedical Science and Engineering

Infectious disease technologies refer to the tools and methods used to detect, diagnose, treat, and prevent infectious diseases. These include diagnostic tests (e.g., PCR, rapid antigen tests), vaccines, antimicrobial treatments, and new technologies like CRISPR for gene editing. Advances in biotechnology, data analytics, and molecular biology have improved our ability to identify pathogens, track disease outbreaks, and develop targeted therapies and vaccines more quickly. These technologies play a crucial role in managing and controlling infectious diseases globally.
