1. Engineering better medicines focuses on developing and improving new vaccines and medications. Advanced health informatics focuses primarily on improving the simplicity of medical visits and working on preventing and improving worldwide events like the COVID-19. Reverse engineering the brain primarily focuses on learning new information about the brain, in order to combat diseases like Alzheimer's. They all focus on overall health.
1.1. Without advance health informatics, we could have engineering better medicines or reverse engineering the brain because we have to have a way to store patients information.
1.2. Reverse engineering the brain and engineering better medicines have to work hand in hand in order improve research.
1.3. All three of these grand challenges work to improve overall health.
2. Chemical engineers work on engineering better medicines. Chemical engineers create advanced medicine, vaccines, and they also create complex devices that help with treatments.
2.1. Chemical engineers work to improve and create technology for the medical community.
2.2. Chemical engineers help to create the drugs we rely on everyday.
2.3. Chemical engineers help us fight off and control the spread of pandemics.
2.4. Chemical engineers help with medical innovations and create them as well.
3. Engineering better medicines main goal is to improve existing medications and to create new medication. This helps to improve the healthcare system and improve the health of the general public. This is why engineering better medicines falls under the theme of health.
3.1. This grand challenge helps to provide vaccines in times of crisis like COVID-19.
3.2. This grand challenge is working on creating personalized medication.
3.3. Engineering better medicines could one day help to find the cure to cancer or many other health issues.
4. Within the health theme, engineering better medicines is more important to me. Advance health informatics is next, with reverse engineering the brain being a close third.
4.1. Engineering better medicines is important to me because there are so many unknown variables with medicines and so much to discover.
4.2. Engineering better medicines along the other two health grand challenges can change a tremendous amount of peoples lives.
4.3. Advanced health informatics help improve the simplicity of the medical community.
