Welcome
Bioengineering research at Caltech focuses on the application of engineering principles to the analysis, manipulation, design, and construction of biological systems, and on the discovery and application of new engineering principles inspired by the properties of biological systems. Areas of research emphasis include: bioimaging, bioinspired design, biomechanics, biomedical devices, cell and tissue engineering, molecular medicine, molecular programming, synthetic biology, and systems biology.
Rosen Bioengineering Center
The fosters integration and collaboration in academic, research, and social programs in Bioengineering and bioengineering-related research areas with a variety of programs and activities, most significantly the Rosen Graduate Scholarships and Rosen Research Project Awards
