Introduction Genetic engineering
In a simple way, what is biomedicine and Definition, it’s functions in science
genetic engineering? and applications in the medicine

Biomedicine Conclusions
Branch of medicine, studies and Why are these subjects so
contribution to society important in the world?
 Introduction 01
● Genetic engineering and biomedicine allow us
to better understand the genetic system for it’s
care and development.
● Despite the same objective, different things are
studied in each science
02 Genetic engineering

● Is a process that uses laboratory technologies to

modify the composition of an organism's DNA.

● These modifications allow the creation of a living

organism or give characteristics to other of the same
species

● Helps to create medicines and vaccines

 03 Biomedicine

● The union of biology and medicine to study general

features of human

● Allows the discover of diseases and pathogens that

may affect the population

● Cell biology, biochemistry and microbiology are

very important in the subject
Four important moments…

01 Investigation
Understanding of biological
mechanisms
02 Diagnostic
Disease detection

03 Treatment
With help of new
technologies
04 Prevention
Study of the organism
 Conclusions

❖ Both areas of science have allowed human beings to live

in a better way thanks to their advances along history.
Their study has provided a lot of solutions to several
diseases and information about our health and our body.
Thanks!
