The advent of molecular biology, genomics, proteomics and related technology has spawned a revolution in biology and offers numerous opportunities for commercial development in applications like:
- Human disease: developing therapeutic antibodies and proteins, and treating cancer and brain tumors.
- Living systems: understanding cellular organization and biological networks (artificial trees, bioseparations, host pathogen interactions, cellular and subcellular organization, protein biogenesis, regulation and control of biological networks).
- Biotechnology: creating biosensors, protein engineering, and body-on-a-chip devices.
Faculty researchers in this area exemplify the collaborative nature of the work done at Cornell Engineering.
