While they apply different skill sets, chemical, biomedical and bioengineering use complementary approaches to solve problems. ChBME research is oftentimes interdisciplinary, as they work closely with medicine, veterinary medicine, nutrition, natural resources and more.
Undergraduate students can get involved in research as early as freshman year. To learn more about biological and biomedical research opportunities, contact Charles (Chase) Darr. For information about chemical engineering research opportunities, contact Mary Myers.
Graduate students are integral to our research and teaching mission. For information about research, contact Reginald Rogers.
