Research - BTS

Research in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences aims to better understand, diagnose, and treat disease.

We are committed to revolutionizing the discovery, delivery, and development of new therapeutics into the future. As we succeed, we will transform today's medicines and medical devices into sophisticated, targeted, intelligent therapeutics.

Our research expertise includes:

Bioengineering
Bioinformatics
Biomaterials
Computational chemistry
Computational biology
Drug delivery systems including nanotechnology
Drug discovery and design
Drug metabolism and transport
Gene delivery and therapy
Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMs)
Personalized medicines
Pharmaceutical technology
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Pharmacogenomics, toxicogenomics, and genetics of human disease
Systems biology
Systems pharmacology
Tissue and cell engineering
Toxicology

We are focusing on 5 areas of research:

Much of our science is conducted by teams in faculty laboratories. Department research centers and collaborations are also key to our work.
