The ocean plays a crucial role in the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). The so-called marine biological carbon pump is an important research topic in this context. However a key component is often ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

Diagnostic biomarkers are used to detect or confirm the presence of a disease or condition. They can help identify individuals with a particular disease or at high risk of developing the disease.

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age, mortality ...

Schematic of a typical bioreactor. Key components include the reactor tank, agitation system, feeding pump, thermal jacket, submerged aerator, and sensor probes for monitoring and maintaining optimal ...

The undergraduate minor in biological engineering teaches students to create biological processes and products for application in a myriad of fields, from pharmaceuticals to biomaterials to ...

Chronological age refers to a person’s age based on when they were born. The term biological aging describes the age of their cells, which can differ depending on genetic and environmental factors.

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is updating one of its undergraduate majors to offer students greater flexibility in exploring biological engineering-focused courses. Starting in ...
