Cellular and Biomolecular Engineering is the development and application of micro- and nano-scale engineering approaches and technologies to studies of biological
molecules and cells. Cellular Engineering involves understanding, controlling, manipulating and modifying cell behavior and functions using combined engineering, genetic, biochemical and biological approaches. Biomolecular
Engineering includes analyzing proteins, nucleic acids and their interactions; designing, synthesizing and characterizing biopolymers, nanoparticle bioconjugates, therapeutic drugs, biomolecular sensors, connectors and actuators as well as nano-structured devices. The goal is to develop and apply innovative cellular and molecular approaches for the detection, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases.
