BIOENGINEERING/CELLULAR ENGINEERING

Faculty in the College of Engineering engage in cutting-edge research in the area of Bio/Cellular Engineering. Research conducted here has real-world applications such as:

• Research in liquid cooling systems for high-power AI processors in data centers 
• Fundamentals of absorbing heat by vapor to liquid phase change (flow boiling)
• Cooling batteries and their characterization for EVs

Major areas of research conducted include:

• Investigating the fate of therapeutic transgenes in human cells
• Development of earthworm hemoglobin as an ultra-stable alternative to donated red blood cells
• Focuses on microbioreactor design, optimization of the cell expansion step and novel cell purification strategies in support of CAR-T and CAR-NK applications
