Synopsis
The Biotechnology,
Biochemical, and Biomass Engineering (BBBE) program supports fundamental
engineering research that advances the understanding of cellular and biomolecular processes (in vivo, in vitro,
and/or ex vivo) and eventually leads to the development of enabling
technology and/or applications in support of the biopharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and bioenergy industries, or with applications in health or the
environment. Quantitative assessments of bioprocesses are considered
vital to successful research projects in the BBBE program.
Fundamental to many
research projects in this area is the understanding of how biomolecules and
cells interact in their environment, and how those molecular level interactions
lead to changes in structure, function, phenotype, and/or behavior. The
program encourages proposals that address emerging research areas and
technologies that effectively integrate knowledge and practices from different
disciplines, and effectively incorporate ongoing research into educational
activities.
Research projects of
particular interest in BBBE include, but are not limited to:
