biomedical
Biology meets medicine
Biomedical relates to the application of biological and medical sciences, especially in clinical or research settings.
Biomedical engineering develops devices like artificial joints and pacemakers.
Biomedical research investigates disease mechanisms and treatments.
The term bridges laboratory science and medical practice: The university expanded its biomedical sciences program.
