Biology & Biotechnology – WPI

The work of the Biology and Biotechnology Department at WPI goes far beyond the theoretical. Students, faculty, and industry collaborate in research and discovery to solve problems that affect us all. Their goals: to help treat and cure common, dread diseases, like Alzheimers and cancer; heal wounds faster; create a greener world through science; and use computer science techniques to solve flesh-and-blood problems.

And weve only scratched the surface of what the Biology and Biotechnology Department is doing. Its state-of-the-art new research center, the Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center at Gateway Park, is practically bursting at the seams with fundamental and applied research, conducted with cutting-edge instrumentation and tools. Here, graduate and select undergraduate students work across disciplines and with companies in the field.

Graduates of the Biology and Biotechnology Department at WPI go on to myriad careers in industry and academia, across organizations large and small. And the research interests of our faculty encompass a similarly large range.

Its an exciting time for the life sciences. We invite you to learn more about how the Biology and Biotechnology Department can help you reach your educational and career goals.
