Research
involves developing fundamental physicochemical
understanding of biological processes and translating the
understanding into efficient design of therapeutically and
industrial important products and processes. This is
accomplished by interweaving the fields of molecular cellular
biology with principles of physical chemistry and process
engineering. Projects carried out in the recent past and of
current interest include: genetic optimization of industrial
microbes; large scale cell culture; dynamics of protein
production in microorganisms; optimization and control of
fermentation; bioreactor design; plant biotechnology;
biochemical and biomedical sensor design; analysis and
design of biopolymers and biocatalysts; applied immunology;
cell and tissue engineering; and bioseparation.
