Bioinspired Robotics: Research a specific robot or robotic system that has been inspired by an

animal. Describe the biological principles that were mimicked and discuss the advantages this
bioinspired design offers over traditional designs. Example: How the locomotion of a gecko has
influenced the design of climbing robots.
Biomimicry in Medicine: Investigate a medical device or technique that has been inspired by a
biological system. Explain the original biological inspiration and how it has been applied to
improve medical treatments. Example: The use of Velcro, inspired by burrs sticking to fur, in
surgical applications.
Role of Biomolecules in Disease: Choose a specific disease and research how abnormalities in
biomolecules contribute to its pathology. Discuss the role of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, or
carbohydrates in the disease mechanism. Example: The role of misfolded proteins in
neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's
Carbohydrate Metabolism: Investigate the process of carbohydrate metabolism in humans.
Describe the steps involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Discuss
how disorders in these pathways can lead to metabolic diseases.
Dietary Carbohydrates: Research the impact of different types of dietary carbohydrates (simple
vs. complex) on human health. Analyze their effects on blood sugar levels, energy, and overall
health. Provide examples of foods rich in these carbohydrates.
Genomic Technologies: Explore recent advancements in genomic technologies, such as CRISPR-
Cas9. Describe how these technologies work and their potential applications in medicine,
agriculture, and other fields. Provide real-life examples of successful applications.
RNA Therapeutics: Investigate the role of RNA-based therapeutics in modern medicine. Discuss
how mRNA vaccines, such as those developed for COVID-19, work and their advantages over
traditional vaccines.
Lipidomics: Research the emerging field of lipidomics and its importance in understanding cellular
processes. Describe how lipidomics is used to study lipid profiles in different diseases and provide
examples of findings from recent studies.
Lipids in Cell Signaling: Investigate the role of lipids in cell signaling pathways. Choose a specific
signaling pathway (e.g., the role of phospholipids in the PI3K/Akt pathway) and describe how
lipids contribute to the regulation of cellular functions.
Proteomics: Explore the field of proteomics and its applications in biomedical research. Describe
the techniques used in proteomics studies and provide examples of how proteomics has contributed
to understanding diseases and developing new treatments. Example: The use of proteomics in
cancer research to identify biomarkers for early detection.
