Medical Devices for COVID-19

Combines computational and statistical techniques, mathematics, and engineering to analyze and interpret biological data of patients affected by COVID-19

Bioinformatics for COVID-19

Manipulates genomes of organisms, such as animal models, and the virus to develop and/or test therapeutics for COVID-19 

Genetic Engineering for COVID-19

Utilizes light to trigger biochemical reactions in order to detect and treat patients affected by COVID-19

- Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)-based Virotherapy for COVID-19

Biomedical Optics for COVID-19

Tissue engineering aims to restore damaged tissues or organs by applying engineering and materials principles at the cellular level. It is used interchangeably with "regenerative medicine," which also focuses on providing cures, rather than treatments, for chronic damages to the body due to COVID-19

Tissue Engineering for COVID-19

Applies mechanical engineering principles to biological systems of COVID-19 patients to advance their health

Biomechanical Engineering for COVID-19

Engineers are currently synthesizing new medications to treat patients with COVID-19.

Pharmaceutical Engineering for COVID-19

Deals with the actual implementation of medical devices and reports issues, typically associated with the design of the devices, to improve their implementation

Clinical Engineering for COVID-19

Engineered materials, such as polymers and ceramics, that interact with biological systems of affected patients for medical purposes

- Nanomaterials for COVID-19

Biomaterials for COVID-19

Neural Engineering for COVID-19

Focuses on providing technical solutions to affected individuals with disabilities 

Rehabilitation Engineering for COVID-19

Biomedical engineers have put in extensive time and research in testing methods and diagnostics regarding the novel coronavirus. The test results of the population have provided mathematical models to visualize the pandemic, alternatively the private sector has produced a high-volume of nasopharyngeal, throat, and nasal test kits by bioengineering front-runners including: Abbot, Xpert, Lightmix, and Genmark.

Diagnostics and Testing with Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering involves designing equipment to aid in the treatment of medical conditions.
