The

students understand the importance of this knowledge in the context of the

human health. They still had questions though: “But beyond changing our

lifestyle, how does learning these things help us actually do something about

it. Can we engineer solutions for this and apply it somehow?”

The

researcher said that is for instance what he does. He uses his fundamental

knowledge about biomolecules, cells and molecular biology to help save human

lives. And he doesn’t need to be a doctor or a medical person to do this. He is

a biological systems engineer, and he specializes on nanotheranostics to help

achieve this.

Practice

question: The research fellow believes that only doctors or medical

professional can contribute to solutions in human health?
