Biosystems engineering: A focus for research addressing UK priorities

摘要

As well as being the title of the research journal that IAgrE owns, biosystems engineering is increasingly seen worldwide as an important research area for new scientific understanding and innovation. Research at the interface between biology and engineering has the potential to give new insights into the performance of biological systems, e.g. by using novel sensors and mathematical modelling, and to trigger new engineering solutions building from the rapid advances in biological science. More generally, it is widely recognised that research at the interface between scientific disciplines will be crucial for the major advances in the 21st century.
