Welcome

In 2005, we established a new, contemporary program in life science engineering built around our existing efforts in chemical engineering and the life and health sciences programs.

We recognized that the merger of these two fields was natural as they share a common foundation, including:

• Principles of mass and energy conservation
• Principles of chemical and biochemical transport through matter
• Interactions and reactions of chemical and biological molecules in intracellular and extracelluar transport and dynamic signaling processes
• Systems biological engineering, which involves the spatial and temporal interactions of both cellular subunits and physiological processes

As department chair, I encourage you to read more about our program [PDF] and explore this site to learn about our offerings and groundbreaking research.

We look forward to hearing from you.
