Berkeley Engineering's newest department, the Department of Bioengineering, is at the forefront of a major movement to improve health and human productivity. Advances in medicine and the successful, seamless integration of biology and modern engineering will lead major breakthroughs — ranging from the design of drugs customized to an individual's genome to the perfection of artificial implantable organs to the eventual replacement of damaged or diseased bone, cartilage, and other tissues with newly engineered materials. Many of these breakthroughs, which will lead to longer, healthier, and more productive lives, will be pioneered at Berkeley.

The Department of Bioengineering at Berkeley merges leadership and talents found in the College of Engineering with:

  • the physical and biological sciences at Berkeley
  • the biological and health sciences at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and
  • the assets of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).
With these partners, Berkeley's Department of Bioengineering is uniquely positioned to lead the nation in advancing this new mode of medicine.
