From the reviews: "Bioengineering and Biotechnology are emerging as
distinct disciplines amid the biological revolution and during a
period of rapid globalization. These interesting times offer us
unprecedented opportunities for professional and personal growth.
This book covers many important areas of opportunity, including
entrepreneurship, finance, law, and education, with a global
perspective. The legacy of our times will include how well we used
our rapidly advancing technologies to improve the world around us.
This book provides a roadmap for the contributions of
Bioengineering and Biotechnology in this quest."
-James E. Moore, PhD, Texas A&M University "This book will be
essential reading for all those seeking career guidance in
bioengineering and biotechnology."
-Tony Bradshaw, PhD, Director bioProcessUK - BioIndustry
Association (BIA), Chairman, The Royal Academy of Engineering/BIA
Life Scientists' Career Seminars "...the topics [are] quite
extensive covering definitions, core curriculum, career
opportunities, including a wide range of alternative career
pathways as well as social and ethical issues. The material covered
is unlike any of the standard publications related to these fields
of activity... [the book] can be read at different stages of one's
career."
-Joseph D. Bronzino, PhD, Trinity College "The editors have
assembled a very distinguished and diverse array of people to
present true-to-life depictions of the opportunities--and
responsibilities--that await those who pursue careers in biomedical
engineering and biotechnology. … This excellent volume is without
comparison and deserves a place in every biology, medical,
engineering, and undergraduate library. Summing Up: Essential.
Students of all levels and practitioners." (K. A. Newman, Choice,
Vol. 46 (8), April, 2009)
