Dear Friends and Colleagues,
 We are pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for our Biological Engineering PhD program at the University of Colorado Boulder!
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.
 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.
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:

  *   Tissue Engineering, Biomaterials, and Advanced Manufacturing.
  *   New Tools and Technologies for Probing Systems.
  *   Behavior of Biological Matter: Fluids, Tissues, and Materials.
  *   Dynamics of Biomolecular Interactions.
  *   Engineering Proteins, Nucleic Acids, and Other Biomolecules
We are currently accepting applications for the Fall 2021 semester and would be very grateful if you could make this information available to your undergraduate students and Faculty members who may be interested in this type of program. Additional information about our program can be found on our department’s website<https://www.colorado.edu/chbe/graduate-program/biological-engineering-phd-program>.  In exchange, we will gladly circulate information regarding your graduate program or other programs that may be of interest to undergraduate students and Faculty.
We encourage applications from all Engineering disciplines, as well as Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Molecular and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and Chemistry. Additionally, unlike many Bio-related Engineering programs, there is no entrance interview required and we will waive the application fee for outstanding domestic and international applicants. Details on our website<https://www.colorado.edu/chbe/graduate-program/prospective-graduate-students>.
 Thank you for your time and consideration.  We look forward to developing a working relationship with you and your institution that will be beneficial for both of us.  Interested students may also contact our Graduate Program Advisor, Dominique de Vangel, with any questions (chbegrad at colorado.edu<mailto:chbegrad at colorado.edu>).

Best Regards,
Joel
