| The experimental and analytical tools, rigorous methods, and inventive
approach of chemical engineers are contributing greatly to biotechnology
and bioengineering. Innovative experimental research pursued by
Northwestern faculty includes projects in cell and tissue
engineering, in vitro cell and tissue
culture, strategies and materials for efficient
gene therapy and genetic mutation detection, metabolic
engineering of microorganisms, tools for efficient DNA
separations, environmental biodegradation pathways,
and biomimetic and biointeractive polymers. In
the theoretical, analytical, and computational arenas, Northwestern
faculty have projects in computational biotechnology and
bioinformatics – with the goal of
accurately modeling complex biological systems and processes – and modeling
transport phenomena in biological systems. One of
the greatest strengths of our department is the diversity of research
topics and the sheer quantity of faculty research in biotechnology
and bioengineering.
