Graduate Program: Bioengineering

Research in bioengineering at Princeton integrates the engineering of proteins, cells and biomaterials with quantitative analysis and modeling. In addition to facilities within the Department of Chemical Engineering, research in bioengineering is supported by facilities in the Department of Molecular Biology and the Department of Chemistry.

Protein expression and purification: PCR instrument; electrophoresis apparatus (protein and DNA); liquid chromatography: gene pulser; sonicator; facilities for expression of recombinant proteins in bacteria and yeast

Genomics:Affymetrix Gene Chip Fluidics Station 400, Total Desktop Mining Solution, and Gene Array Scanner

Biomaterials: facilities for micro-patterning polymers, proteins and cells

Cell and tissue culture: CO2 incubators; laminar flow hoods; walk-in cold room; autoclave; centrifuges; cryogenic storage; flow cytometry

Microscopy: epifluorescent microscopes; laser scanning confocal microscopes; atomic force microscope with fluid cell; high resolution scanning electron microscope

Analysis of biological macromolecules: NMR spectrometers; mass spectrometers; capillary electrophoresis instruments; stopped-flow device for enzyme kinetics; circular dichroism facility; microcalorimeter; UV-VIS and fluorescence spectrometers; quartz crystal microbalance

Molecular Biology core facilities: DNA synthesis and sequencing; peptide synthesis and sequencing
