At Purdue's Davidson School of Chemical Engineering, bioengineering and biotechnology research applies the principles of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics to solve problems in biological systems at the molecular and cellular level. Our researchers work alongside immunologists, bioengineers and clinicians — both on campus and beyond — to develop next-generation cell and gene therapies that address diseases ranging from cancer to genetic disorders.
