Do you observe that only 7 items out of 30 are in connection with biology that too 5 of them are related with applied electronics.so, only 2 items are strictly connected with pure biology.
In coming years,majority inventions are going to be composite fields like - nanobiology,bioelectronics,biophotonics etc...
