note: the following is a summary of the new SB Degree in Biological Engineering at MIT
Introduction
Professor of Biological and Mechanical Engineering Linda G. Griffith is the director of the
Biotechnology Process Engineering Center at MIT. She is interested in the applications
of tissue engineering to replace damaged body parts, such as lost cartilage in the bone.
SB in Biological Engineering
The molecular and genomic revolutions in the past decades paved the path for a greater
degree of overlap between two previously distinct fields. These revolutions made it
possible for researchers to explore and develop new engineering applications to biology.
The new undergraduate degree program in BE at MIT was developed in response to
these changes. Proposed by the School of Engineering Biological Engineering Division
and co-chaired by Linda G. Griffith and Roger D. Kamm, it is designed to be an
extension to the PhD program in BE at MIT.
