Brad Reisfeld, Chemical and Biological Engineering professor, is spending the year as a visiting senior scientist at the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France.
Thanks to a year-long grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a team of engineering students took their skills to new heights against a major threat to our way of life – harmful algal blooms.
CSU atmospheric scientists and engineers will study the aerobiome — microbes in the air — as part of a new $12.5 million NSF project.
A team from CSU is working to boost algae crop growth to reach industrial levels, with the team being awarded $3.2m from the DOE in support of this goal earlier this month. (Bio Market Insights)
The U.S. Department of Energy chose CSU engineers and biologists to engineer algae strains and improve cultivation operations to boost algae's rate of biomass production by 20%. (9News Denver)
CSU engineers and biologists will engineer algae strains and improve cultivation operations to boost algae’s potential as a source of biofuels and other products.
“When I was an undergraduate student, I was fortunate enough to work in a research group,” Ken Reardon says. “I loved it, and it had a lot to do with why I went to graduate school, but I never knew what the point of the whole project was.” Now, Reardon is overseeing a $5.1 million Department of Energy project that is giving selected undergraduates a holistic view of research, in real time.
Watson was recognized in part for his efforts to expand the domain of chemical engineering in research and education.
Brian Munsky, Chemical and Biological Engineering professor, is leading an effort to expose undergraduate students to quantitative biology research.
For the first time, CSU researchers have observed early RNA transcription dynamics by recording where, when and how RNA polymerase enzymes kick off transcription by binding to a DNA sequence.
