Distinguished Professor Kristi Anseth has received the Biomaterials Global Impact Award, which recognizes distinguished research and development accomplishments in the field of biomaterials. Anseth is known for developing tissue substitutes that improve treatments for conditions like broken bones and heart valve disease.
CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó researchers and partners at MIT, Harvard and Columbia are working to recreate the human liver’s complex structure in the lab. With support from a $25 million ARPA-H grant, the team aims to develop 3D-printed, transplantable liver tissue made from human cells that the body won’t reject.
A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists a more realistic way to study cells and disease.
Dunphy's research involves studying interactions at the atomic level to design more efficient catalysts for polymer upcycling, an innovative approach for converting plastic wastes into valuable products, such as jet fuels.
Thad Sauvain (ChemEngr’91) credits his own time at CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, where he earned a BS in chemical engineering, with helping him thrive both as an engineer and as a LGBTQ+ individual.
Heath Briggs, co-chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Patents and Innovation Strategies Group, is a chemical engineer, a registered patent attorney and has more than 19 years of patent prosecution experience and 10 years of AIA trial experience.
Kevin Seibert is a technical VP with Eli Lilly and Co. and holds a BS in chemical engineering from the 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, as well as MS and PhD degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan. He has over 30 years’ experience working in small and medium molecule syntheses for both Merck and Eli Lilly. Seibert has been responsible for the process development and optimization of many early and late-phase products and led the technology transfer, validation and launch of several marketed compounds.
Chemical and biological engineering senior Arianna McCarty has earned the prestigious Churchill Scholarship, becoming just the fourth student in university history to receive the honor. The award will support a year of master’s study at the University of Cambridge, recognizing her exceptional research achievements and academic excellence.
Meet the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering's newest faculty, Assistant Professors Cody Ritt and Antonio Del Rio Flores.
Chemical and biological engineering researchers have created shape-shifting microparticles that change their shape in response to environmental factors for self-directed propulsion and navigation.
