Bioprocessing

Interested in helping save lives, making companies more profitable, and determining the future of medicine?

Bioprocessing affects almost every aspect of our daily lives. The food we eat, the water we drink, the environment in which we live, the medicine and vitamins that keep us healthy, and even our makeup or cologne are all influenced by technology developed through bioprocesses.

Bioprocessing is an interdisciplinary specialty that draws on several scientific fields including: engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, biochemistry, biology, and, of course, biotechnology. Recent developments in bioprocessing have enabled companies to produce and distribute life saving medicines to the people who need them most. Continued medical advancement strongly depends on further development of bioprocessing technologies.
