Research
Research in the BioEngineering group falls into four broad areas:
- development and design of process for production of biological control agents, in particular baculovirus biopesticides
- development of technologies to improve the production, analysis and bioactivity of recombinant proteins produced by mammalian cell factories
- development of tissue engineering technologies for production of blood cells used for gene therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplantation and transfusion, as well as microtissues used for drug discovery & delivery
- metabolic engineering of microbes and plants to enhance yield and quality of biopolymers
