Bioengineering at UB CBE employs engineering fundamentals and biology to understand the role of mechanical forces on cell behavior, protein glycosylation, stem cell aging, stem cell differentiation; and develop novel technologies such as production of value-added chemicals, engineering novel proteins with improved properties, development of anti-clotting agents, scale-up production of stem cells for cell therapies and engineering tissues (blood vessels, skin, bone, cartilage) for tissue replacement and regeneration.
