Mission
​
The mission of the Environmental Bioengineering Laboratory at Porter School of Environmental and Earth Sciences is to train scientists and engineers in the fundamentals of bioengineering to bring the principles and tools of bioengineering to the forefront of environmental and health sciences in the benefit of the society and the planet
What is Environmental Bioengineering?
The science which goal is to advance fundamental understanding of how biological systems operate and to develop effective biology-based technologies for applications across a wide spectrum of societal needs including:
-
Generating renewable energy
-
Producing sustainable food
-
Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pollutions
-
Design of novel materials, devices, and processes
-
Enhancing human environmental health
-
Reducing the waste burden
