Knowra Biomedicine Biomedicine Biomedicine applies biological knowledge and methods to understanding human health and disease, and to developing evidence-based diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
Human physiology : The study of how the human body's organs and systems function. Physiology supplies baseline knowledge for identifying how disease disrupts normal function.
Molecular biology : The study of biological processes at the molecular level, especially interactions among DNA, RNA, and proteins. Its methods reveal molecular changes that can drive disease or serve as treatment targets.
Medical diagnosis : The process of identifying a disease or condition from clinical information and test results. Biomedicine supplies the biological explanations and tests used to identify disease.
Traditional medicine : Health practices and knowledge systems rooted in the traditions of particular cultures or communities. Its knowledge may arise from distinct traditions rather than biomedical research methods.
Pathophysiology : The study of the functional changes associated with disease or injury. It connects biological disturbances to the signs and symptoms clinicians observe.
Cell biology : The study of cell structure, function, behavior, and interactions. Cellular processes explain how molecular disruptions affect tissues and organs.
Medical imaging : Techniques that create images of internal structures or processes for diagnosis and treatment. Imaging makes anatomy and some physiological changes observable in living patients.
Osteopathic medicine : A system of medical practice emphasizing the body's interconnected structure and function, including manual treatment. It shares biomedical training in many settings while retaining a distinctive emphasis on manual approaches.
Clinical epidemiology : The application of epidemiological methods to clinical questions about diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. It tests how biomedical findings perform among patients and populations.
Immunology : The study of the immune system and its responses to infection, injury, and altered cells. Immune mechanisms underlie infectious disease, autoimmunity, cancer treatment, and transplantation.
