Program Overview

Biomolecular engineering seeks to convert molecular-level knowledge of biological phenomena into potentially useful biochemical and chemical products and processes that are derived from living cells or their components. Biomolecular engineering expertise includes cell biology, biochemistry, cell engineering and biotechnology, and bioprocess engineering. Both industry and academia have high demand for graduates with biomolecular engineering expertise. Areas of application include drug research and development, biosensors, and biomaterials for regenerative medicine applications.
