French term

Ingénierie pour le vivant

French to English Science Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Scientific term from a doctorate degree certificate
Context: I am translating a doctorate degree certificate and am puzzled by "Ingénierie pour le vivant".

I have found quite a few references, but no obvious English equivalent.

Thanks in advance if you can help!

The French university lecturer suggested three possibilities, namely "Synthetic Biology", "Biological Engineering" or "Life Engineering". Apparently the choice can vary depending on context, so I will probably opt for the latter and see what the client thinks.
Anne Bitton (asker) May 4, 2018:
Thanks Phil, I think that makes sense. I have also just emailed a French university lecturer to ask if he can confirm the correct English term.

Spécialité / discipline de doctorat: Ingénierie pour le vivant.

There are also references to "Electronique, Electrotechnique, Automatique", so I wonder if it is linked to robotics??
