Drosophila Egg Surrounded by a Simple Columnar Epithelium

Bioengineering research in the Chemical and Biological Engineering department at Princeton spans many length scales, from the amino acids which make up proteins (~ angstroms) to entire organisms (~ meters). Experimental research in the department is carried out on several living systems including bacteria, mammalian cell culture, and flies. Researchers in the department take genetic and molecular biological approaches to accomplish such goals as the discovery and engineering of new therapeutics and biosensors and understanding signaling and pattern formation in tissue formation and development. Bioengineering research in Chemical Engineering has strong ties to materials research within the department. Our department also has a robust quantitative and computational biology component.
