Biomedicine is theoretical medicine. It is a branch of Medical Science which studies human body from theoretical positions. The results of research in Biomedicine are modern drugs, deeper understanding of the nature of illness, and more advanced knowledge about human body (for example, aging processes).  Biomedicine is sometimes called modern western scientific medicine - in contrast with eastern traditional practices. The most important branches of Biomedicine are Biotechnology, Biomechanics and Biomaterials. These disciplines can be taught either as a course of basic Biomedicine study program or as a separate degree (Master’s degree in these areas are more popular than Bachelor).
