Understanding the Role of Deep Learning in Bioengineering: From Biomarker Discovery to Clinical Applications
Abstract
Deep learning (DL) has become an essential tool in bioengineering, with its ability to process vast amounts of complex biological data and uncover intricate patterns, enabling significant breakthroughs across various domains. This paper explores the application of deep learning techniques in bioengineering, from biomarker discovery to clinical applications, focusing on their transformative impact in precision medicine, diagnostics, and drug discovery. DL models, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), have shown tremendous potential in biomarker identification by analyzing genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic data to uncover disease-related patterns that were previously undetectable through traditional methods. In the realm of drug discovery, deep learning has accelerated the identification of potential drug candidates and drug-target interactions, significantly reducing both time and costs involved in pharmaceutical development. Additionally, DL models are being integrated into clinical settings, where they enhance diagnostic accuracy, predict disease progression, and contribute to personalized medicine by developing tailored treatment plans based on individual patient data. The paper also discusses the challenges associated with deep learning applications in bioengineering, such as the interpretability of models, data quality and availability, and ethical issues related to patient privacy. Despite these challenges, the promise of DL in revolutionizing bioengineering is immense, with ongoing advancements like explainable AI and federated learning poised to make these technologies more transparent, ethical, and impactful. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future directions of deep learning applications in bioengineering, underlining the importance of these innovations in enhancing human health and healthcare systems.
