The Biosciences Area
Enabled by Berkeley Lab’s world-class user facilities and complementary research programs, our scientists and engineers contribute groundbreaking discoveries and innovative solutions to complex scientific and societal challenges.
The Biosciences Mission
Use integrated research teams to solve national challenges in energy, environment, health and biomanufacturing.
The Biosciences Vision
Berkeley Lab’s Biosciences Area will lead the nation in using biology to solve energy and environmental challenges.
Biosciences Area Organization
Biosciences Area research is coordinated through three Divisions and one User Facility: Biological Systems and Engineering (BSE), Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology (EGSB), Molecular Biophysics and Integrated Bioimaging (MBIB), and the DOE Office of Science National User Facility Joint Genome Institute (JGI).
Our Future
The Biosciences Area forges multidisciplinary teams to solve national challenges in energy, environment, and health issues, as well as advance the engineering of biological systems for sustainable manufacturing.
