<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica">This degree seeks to leverage the measurement, theory, and manipulation of biomolecules and biological systems for addressing
the next challenges in our world. Recent advancements in imaging, data processing, and synthesis have enabled access to biological information previously limited to the imagination. Thus, modern biology serves as the foundation of this program for the development
of new models, processes, and technologies to advance human needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica"> Students who enroll in this program will learn how biological components interact on many size scales, how to understand the
interplay of different interactions and networks, and how to form concrete models from complex data. Key discoveries are applied to the creation of complex synthetic architectures for mimicking cell-tissue interactions, programming metabolic and synthetic
pathways to drive cell-mediated chemical production of fuels and chemicals, and developing smart, shape-shifting materials. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica">The program is powered by a curriculum of core and elective courses dedicated to principles of engineering biomolecules, cells,
tissues, and systems. Students will work with established, world-class faculty performing innovative research in many areas, including:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
