Research Labs

The research laboratories described below comprise over 20,000 square feet of facilities in five buildings that contain more than $2 Million of state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation related to Biological Engineering projects that are funded by federal and state agencies, and the private sector. Research addresses fundamental and applied aspects of integrating the science of biology with the problem solving tools and strategies of engineering. Research areas, as described by the various laboratories, include biomedical, bioenergy, bioenvironmental, and public health sectors. The goal of research conducted in the laboratories described below is the production of new bio-based products, technologies, and services that support current bio-based industries, as well as the creation of new industries and jobs in Utah and nationally.

All of our students are invited into our research labs. The Department of Biological Engineering leads the University in undergraduate research. A schedule of weekly Biological Engineering Research Lab meetings is below.

Attending a lab meeting that interests you is an ideal way to begin your undergraduate research.
