Chemical And Biomolecular Engineering
About Us
Chemical engineering is a broad and versatile discipline in which chemical engineers work on the development and application of processes that change materials either chemically or physically. This branch of engineering was originally based on the applications of chemistry, combined with the principles of physics and mathematics. Over time, and with increasing speed, it has evolved so that biological sciences and chemistry now fill the position once uniquely held by chemistry. This recent evolution led the School to add “biomolecular” to its official name in 2003. Revised undergraduate and graduate curricula reflect and support the diversification of the discipline.
News
Notable achievements in 2011. Marc Ostermeier was promoted to full professor, Professor Jeff Gray was named the F. Stuart Hodgson Faculty Scholar, Professor Joelle Frechette won the prestigious Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, and Professor Konstantinos Konstantopoulos accepted an invitation to serve as the next chairman of the Bioengineering, Technology & Surgical Sciences Study Section at the Center for Scientific Review. Among our students, Mustapha Jamal won the Ford Foundation Fellowship. Yagmur Muftouglu (class of 2011), Sarah Schrier (class of 2010 and now at MIT for Bioengineering), Rachel Truit (class of 2010 and now at Penn for Bioengineering), and Colin Paul (in the Konstantopoulos Lab) received grants from the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Honorable mention was also awarded to Barret Steinberg and Nathan Nicholes of the Ostermeier Lab as well as Christian Pick of the Frechette Lab. Our fall newsletter is online. ChemBE Bond 2011. |

- NanoBio IGERT -The NSF sponsored Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) is a pre-doctoral / graduate training program that teaches students how to design and develop nanoprobes such as functionalized nanoparticles and lab-on-a-chip technologies.
- NBMed
- The Johns Hopkins University Interdisciplinary Graduate Training
Program in Nanotechnology for Biology and Medicine-or NBMed program-is
an exciting graduate / pre-doctoral training program housed in the
Institute for NanoBioTechnology.
The program focuses on a new frontier for scientific exploration: the interface between nanotechnology, biology, and medicine for creating new diagnostics and therapeutics to detect, treat, cure, and prevent human diseases.
Funding for the program comes from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
