New discoveries and modern technologies used in biology and medicine have led to the rapid change and growth of biomedical research and industry transitioning to sustainable operations. Rapid developments in the field of synthetic biology and its associated methods, including more widely available gene editing techniques, have substantially increased our capabilities for bioengineering. As our ability to modify and control biological systems increases, biological processes are replacing chemical and mechanical processes due to their inherent advantages of renewable resources, mild operation conditions and minimal waste problem. Bioengineering creates the opportunity to solve health and environmental problems. The University of Queensland promotes training in bioengineering education, with this new Master program to be key component, designed to help graduating students for tackling the major challenges that face our society. Bioengineering is an interdisciplinary research into biocatalysis, biomaterials synthesis, fabrication and characterisation, stem cell culture, tissue regeneration and medical device design
