- Tissue engineering frequently involves stem cells, a kind of premature cell first isolated from the body in 1992; implanting stem cells in the appropriate location can generate everything from bone to tendon to cartilage.
- Genetic engineering refers to a set of technologies that are being used to change the genetic makeup of cells and move genes across species boundaries to produce novel organisms. The techniques involve highly sophisticated manipulations of genetic material and other biologically important chemicals.
Many foods today are genetically engineered to last longer and be pest/insect resistance

Neural Engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary research area that brings to bear neuroscience and engineering methods to analyze neurological function as well as to design solutions to problems associated with neurological limitations and dysfunction.
