Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems (EBBS)
U.S. National Science Foundation
About this opportunity
The Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems (EBBS) program expand s our understanding of biological and physiological systems , and it helps improve human health . For U.S. leadership in biotechnology , the engineering of biology is required at every scale . E ngineering is needed for sensing biomarkers to making proteins to restoring function s of the body . In EBBS , fundamental mechanistic insight s are combine d with experimental and computational techniques . This approach help s develop platforms, devices, organisms, tissues, and processes that bring new understanding and control of biological function s . EBBS supports studies of mechanisms that driv e the behavior of microbial populations and cells , and of therapeutic cells and tissues. This includes discovering the underlyi...
