Biomedical science

What is biomedical science
Biomedical science is the term for the investigations carried out by biomedical scientists on samples of tissue and body fluids to diagnose disease and monitor the treatment of patients.

The role of biomedical scientists
Biomedical science is the engine room of modern medicine and few hospitals across Europe would be able to function without the support of biomedical scientists who work in partnership with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. Doctors rely on biomedical scientists to diagnose disease and treat patients effectively. Doctors treat their patients based on results of the vital tests and investigations that diagnose often serious and life threatening illnesses such as cancer, AIDS or diabetes.
