The Biological engineering is a scientific discipline that is experiencing a period of expan‐ sion with important impacts in all areas of medicine. The technological approach and the high level of innovation make bioengineering extremely dynamic and this forces researchers to continuous updating. It involves the publication of the results of the latest scientific re‐ search.

This book covers a wide range of aspects and issues related to advances in bioengineering research, with a particular focus on innovative technologies and applications. The book con‐ sists of 13 scientific contributions divided in four sections: Materials Science; Biosensors, Electronics and Telemetry; Light Therapy; Computing and Analysis Techniques.

In the first section, consisting of five chapters, issues concerning the chemical synthesis of new (nano)materials and physical modifications of biomaterials are addressed. In the sec‐ tion entitled "Biosensors", two chapters treat the issues concerning the electronics of analyti‐ cal devices and the wireless transmission of acquired data. The third section addresses themes linked to light therapy. The last four chapters, grouped in the section entitled "Com‐ puting and Analysis Techniques", show new computational approaches suitable for solving bioengineering problems.
