Our ever expanding knowledge of how biological systems function and interact means that we are finding new ways to exploit and artificially replicate them.
There is currently a worldwide drive to use this new knowledge in a diverse range of different applications. In Biochemical Engineering we are currently working on a number of fronts with the aim of exploiting biological molecules, cells, and tissues to develop a range of high-value products.
