Lee Lab develops cancer-targeting nanoprobes
January 29, 2010 Researchers in Bioengineering Professor Luke Lee’s lab have created smart nanoprobes that may one day be used in the battle against cancer to selectively seek out and destroy tumor cells, as well as report back on the mission’s status.
Microbes Produce Fuels Directly from Biomass
January 27, 2010 A collaboration led by UC Berkeley Professor of Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering Jay Keasling, and by bioengineering graduate student Eric Steen, has developed a microbe that can produce an advanced biofuel directly from biomass.
Bioengineers launch first open-source genetic parts production facility
January 20, 2010 With a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), bioengineers from the University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford University are ramping up efforts to characterize the thousands of control elements critical to the engineering of microbes so that eventually, researchers can mix and match these “DNA parts” in synthetic organisms to produce […]
