Master of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering - Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering

University of Waterloo

Biotechnology involves the manipulation of living materials or chemicals derived from living materials for industrial, agricultural, medical, environmental and other technological applications. Researchers in our labs use living organisms as industrial factories, utilizing microorganisms to produce biofuels and other valuable products. Combining principles of biology with chemical and materials engineering, biomedical engineering research in our labs supports the development of medical devices, diagnostics, and therapeutics (eg. drugs, vaccines, and other biological products.)
