Modern research in life science has proved that a multidisciplinary approach is required to understand complicated biological systems and accelerate applications in human therapeutics, chemicals, and genetically encoded materials.
In this course, the bioengineering faculty team at the CE department will discuss 3-4 core techniques and a wide variety of current research in biotechnology. These include applications in biotechnology such as genome engineering, biomolecule engineering, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, enzyme engineering, bioprocess, metabolic engineering, bio-based chemicals, and protein engineering.

Not mandatory, but recommended to take General Biology (일반생물학), General Chemistry (일반화학)
