Biomedical engineering is one of the fastest growing fields of medical technology. From laboratory instrumentation to the computer analysis of the human genome, it is considered one of the fields that have achieved astounding achievements over the past few years.
In the United States, it is estimated that there are now around 15,000 biomedical engineers in various companies, particularly in the healthcare industry. Riyesh Menon of Greater New York, is one of these young practitioners who have high hopes for the field. Mr. Menon has a master’s degree in biomedical engineer from Rutgers University. He has worked as a product development engineer at The Dow Chemical Company, where was involved in the research and development of new healthcare products such as shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, body washes, and soaps containing proprietary chemicals. He has also helped the company develop and analyze innovative, cost-effective, and superior formulation methodologies for healthcare products.

Among the projects that he has handled include the development mechanisms and systems of neuro-critical care products such as external drainage devices, shunts and catheters.
Like Mr. Menon, more and more people are now pursuing a career in biomedical engineering. From manufacturing companies and hospitals to research facilities and universities, biomedical engineers have play a vital role in developing solutions to problems in biology and medicine.
