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…

December 2009 Bioengineering Assistant Professor Mohammad Mofrad has published his second Bioengineering text: Cellular Mechanotransduction: Diverse Perspectives from Molecules to Tissues.

October 5, 2009 Bioengineering Graduate Group Affliliate Michel Maharbiz and BioE grad student Daniel Cohen have pioneered a new technique to control gene expression in two dimensions over time, using a modified inkjet printer.

September 30, 2009 Berkeley Bioengineering Assistant Professor Irina Conboy and collaborators have identified a critical biochemical pathways linked to the aging of human muscle. By manipulating these pathways, the researchers were able to restore the muscle’s ability to repair and rebuild itself, offering hope for future injury repair and anti-aging techniques.

July 22, 2009 In a major publication in the latest issue of PLoS ONE, Berkeley Bioengineering researchers unveiled their revolutionary cell phone platform for remote fluorescent microscopy.

March 31, 2009 Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering Professor Jay Keasling has been appointed Acting Deputy Laboratory Director of Lawrence Berkeley Lab, and Adjunct Bioengineering Professor Paul Adams has been appointed Acting Director of Berkeley Lab’s Physical Biosciences Division.
