Genetic algorithms are a promising tool in biomedical engineering for modelling gene regulatory networks (GRNs). By optimizing the parameters of the model, genetic algorithms can accurately predict the behaviour of the network, leading to potential drug targets and novel therapies for genetic disorders. This integration represents a new frontier in understanding complex biological systems.

Genetic algorithms have proven useful in solving complex problems in biomedical engineering such as treatment planning, feature selection, signal processing, tissue engineering, and medical device design. Their ability to search through vast solution spaces is highly effective in finding optimal solutions. The applications of genetic algorithms in biomedical engineering are expected to grow even more in the future.

Genetic algorithms mimic natural selection and genetics to optimize complex problems. They start with a population of candidate solutions, evaluated using a fitness function, and the fittest produce offspring for the next generation. This process is repeated until a satisfactory solution is found. Despite some limitations, they’re a powerful tool for real-world problems.
