=== Biotechnology ===
Biotechnology and biochemical engineering are closely related to each other as biochemical engineering can be considered a sub-branch of biotechnology. One of the primary focuses of biotechnology is in the medical field, where biochemical engineers work to design pharmaceuticals, artificial organs, biomedical devices, chemical sensors, and drug delivery systems.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.brown.edu/academics/engineering/undergraduate-study/concentrations/chemical-and-biochemical-engineering|title=Chemical and Biochemical Engineering {{!}} School of Engineering|website=www.brown.edu|access-date=2019-03-18|archive-date=2019-02-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190212025428/https://www.brown.edu/academics/engineering/undergraduate-study/concentrations/chemical-and-biochemical-engineering|url-status=dead}}</ref> Biochemical engineers use their knowledge of chemical processes in biological systems in order to create tangible products that improve people's health. Specific areas of studies include metabolic, enzyme, and tissue engineering. The study of cell cultures is widely used in biochemical engineering and biotechnology due to its many applications in developing natural fuels, improving the efficiency in producing drugs and pharmaceutical processes, and also creating cures for disease.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-engineering-careers/engineering/biochemical-engineer|title=Biochemical Engineer {{!}} Science & Engineering Career|website=Science Buddies|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-18}}</ref> Other medical applications of biochemical engineering within biotechnology are genetics testing and [[pharmacogenomics]].
