Description
The
Cellular and Biochemical Engineering program supports fundamental engineering
research that advances understanding of cellular and biomolecular processes in engineering biology. CBE-funded
research eventually leads to the development of enabling technology for advanced
biomanufacturing in support of the therapeutic cell,
biochemical, biopharmaceutical, and biotechnology
industries.
Fundamental
to many research projects in this area is the understanding of how
biomolecules, subcellular systems, cells, and cell populations interact in the
biomanufacturing environment, and how those
interactions lead to changes in structure, function, and behavior. A
quantitative treatment of problems related to biological processes is considered
vital to successful research projects in the CBE program.
The
program encourages highly innovative and potentially transformative engineering
research leading to novel bioprocessing and biomanufacturing approaches. The CBE program also
encourages proposals that effectively integrate knowledge and practices from
different disciplines while incorporating ongoing research into educational
activities.
