Biodesign Department researchers apply their skills and knowledge to the pursuit of basic science discovery and technology development enabling the biomanufacture of fuels, chemicals, and materials.

The aim of the Bioengineering and Biomedical Sciences Department is to develop and apply a predictive, multi-scale, and integrative understanding of biological responses of metazoans to environmental challenges.

The Process Engineering and Analytics Department is focused on bridging the gap between lab-scale research and the commercial deployment of efficient and cost-effective biomanufacturing processes.
