Bioengineering at UC Santa Barbara
Bioengineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara) has strong interactive research efforts that focus on materials aspect of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. With these underpinnings we have developed multi-faceted programs in the areas of biomaterials, drug delivery, detection/diagnostic devices and systems biology.
The depth and strength of our bioengineering efforts has had a major national and international impact on the translation of biology into biotechnical applications resulting in UCSB’s research in Bioengineering being highly sited and recognized.
