M.S. and Ph.D. program details
The chemical and life science engineering tracks are designed primarily for students who are interested in applying biological, chemical, medical and engineering principles toward important contemporary topics. Current research areas in chemical and life science engineering include stem cell and stem cell-derived tissue engineering, cellular engineering and signal pathway analysis, biological systems engineering, bioinformatics and biocomputing, genetics and protein molecular engineering, small molecule and cellular-based therapeutics, reaction engineering and molecular transport, advanced polymeric materials, and processing methods (including medically related polymers, supercritical solvent-processing methods and surface science).
