Welcome to the Institute of Biological Engineering
The Institute of Biological Engineering (IBE) was established to encourage inquiry and interest in biological engineering.
The 21st century presents global challenges in the environment, resources, energy, health, and sustainability. The Institute of Biological Engineering supports the community of scientists and engineers that are addressing these problems through biological systems analysis and design. We do this through enhancing and promoting biological engineering in the broadest manner through research, education, and professional development.
The emerging discipline of biological engineering lies at the interfaces of biological sciences, engineering sciences, mathematics and computational sciences. It applies biological systems to enhance of the quality and diversity of life.

IBE Receives NSF Grant
IBE has received conference support from the NSF to host technical sessions on how biological engineering can address the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges. The focus will be on carbon dioxide sequestration and on providing access to clean drinking water. Experts in these areas will present a broad perspective on the challenges and how they can be addressed.
Videos of the sessions will be made and posted on the internet. Articles on these grand challenges also will be submitted for review for publication in the Journal of Biological Engineering.
