SBE Update: Drug Delivery and Chemical/Biological Engineering

Although you might not associate drug delivery with chemical engineering, the principles of chemical engineering — such as mass and energy balances, transport phenomena, reaction kinetics, and particle technology — are intimately involved in drug delivery. Biological engineers are developing new...

Introduction to Drug Delivery Technology

Drugs can be administered by many routes, yet all emerging drug delivery technologies aim to improve drug efficacy, minimize side effects, and reduce the burden of care for patients and physicians.

Engineering Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Drug and Gene Delivery

Engineered nanoparticles can deliver therapeutic agents to specifically targeted cells and then release those agents in a precisely controlled manner. Improved pharmacokinetic properties, reduced toxicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers are some of the key benefits of this approach.

The Blood-Brain Barrier and Drug Delivery

To maintain favorable conditions in the brain, the blood-brain barrier limits mass transfer across brain tissue. However, it also restricts the systemic delivery of compounds to treat neurological disorders. Several treatment alternatives to bypass the BBB and infuse pharmaceuticals at high...

Bioactive Devices: Uniting Form with Function

Bioactive implants that combine a medical device with one or more biologic therapeutic agents show promise for the targeted treatment of complex medical conditions.Implantable medical devices, such as stents, grafts, and joint replacements, are crucial in the treatment of many chronic diseases,...

SBE Supplement: Biochemical Engineering - SBE Update

SBE Supplement: Biochemical Engineering - Biochemical Engineering over Half a Century

From fermentation to gene splicing to the sequencing of the human genome, the field of biochemical engineering and the career of Professor Daniel I. C. Wang have followed similar paths. Here we trace the route they have taken.

SBE Supplement: Biochemical Engineering - Cell-Free Bioprocessing

The ability to exploit a cell’s contents and capabilities unimpeded by cell walls opens new opportunities for the field of biochemical engineering. Cell-free biology could become the basis for making products from hydrogen to cancer vaccines and more.

SBE Supplement: Biochemical Engineering - A Fertile Discipline for Entrepreneuring

Many unmet needs lie at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and engineering. Future generations of biochemical engineers should consider applying their technical skills and experiences to addressing these needs in an entrepreneurial way.
