CHBE 472

Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.

Study of the engineering principles that underlie many of the powerful tools in biotechnology, and addresses how scientific discoveries and engineering approaches are being used in current industrial applications. Topics addressed include: physical principles that govern self-organization and repair in biological systems; the tools that have been developed to characterize, manipulate, and quantify biomolecules; and the use of analytical tools and genetic manipulation in modern bioengineering and biotechnology applications.
