May 28, 2013 – Researchers led by bioengineering professor Seung-Wuk Lee have created a hydrogel that can be manipulated by light.

Research from Boris Rubinsky, Professor Emeritus in Bioengineering and Professor of the Graduate School in Mechanical Engineering,  is using wireless signals to provide real-time, non-invasive diagnoses of brain swelling or bleeding.

April 11, 2013 – Twelve years after bioengineering and chemical engineering professor Jay Keasling learned how to engineer yeast to produce the potent anti-malarial drug artemisinin, manufacturing plants are launching large-scale production of the medication.

April 3, 2013 – Check out an in-depth article on research by bioengineering professor Amy Herr, one of the inaugural cohort of Bakar Fellows at UC Berkeley. Herr is developing a microfluidic approach to protein assay, a way to quickly and efficiently analyze dozens of human proteins at a time.

March 21, 2013 – Cells interact constantly with their surroundings, but it’s very difficult to observe the main player in this interaction – a protein called integrin. Professor Mohammad Mofrad and bioengineering graduate student Mehrdad Mehrbod have developed a computer model of integrin that gives researchers a new way to explore how the protein connects a cell’s inner…
