Doug Frey, CBEE, Chosen As Yale’s Horvath Memorial Lecturer

Mar 28, 2014 / 1 minute of reading

Doug Frey, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, will be this year’s Horvath Memorial Lecturer at Yale University. The prestigious Csaba Horvath lecture series is in memory of Professor Csaba Horvath, who is responsible for developing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), without which modern chemistry and biotechnology would be difficult, if not impossible. The lecture is sponsored by Yale’s School of Engineering and Applied Science and The Goizueta Foundation. Dr. Frey will speak on new methods and applications for the chromatography of biological macromolecules at Yale on April 16.

Govind Rao, CAST, on Protein Expression in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News

Sep 18, 2013 / 2 minutes of reading

Govind Rao, a professor of chemical, biochemical, and environmental engineering as well as the director for the Center for Advanced Sensor Technology (CAST) was recently quoted in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News. “Advances in DNA biology, particularly those of the past three decades, catalyzed the emergence and expansion of experimental approaches to manipulate gene expression. Subsequently, these advances impacted protein science, a field that found itself increasingly positioned at the juncture of technology, science, and art,” wrote Richard Stein, in the article. “We are trying to make bioprocessing more intelligent and provide a greater degree of measurement at all stages,”… Continue Reading Govind Rao, CAST, on Protein Expression in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News

Highways to Healing – Omolola Eniola-Adefeso ’99, ChemEng

Sep 2, 2011 / 4 minutes of reading

Once upon a time, Omolola Eniola-Adefeso ’99, chemical engineering, was on track to attend medical school. But she became a chemical engineer instead – so she could better attack problems such as her number one target: heart disease. Eniola-Adefeso, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Michigan, investigates radical ways of delivering medicine that could prove efficient and effective than current practice. And she may succeed because she is thinks like an engineer – and not a doctor. Eniola-Adefeso came to Maryland from her native Nigeria the age of 16. She began her studies at Catonsville Community… Continue Reading Highways to Healing – Omolola Eniola-Adefeso ’99, ChemEng
