Immunoengineering and Bioengineering Institute
The Immunoengineering and Bioengineering Institute applies engineering principles to the immune system, seeking not only to understand how it works, but also to direct how it responds. We build the molecules, cells, materials, devices, and computational tools that enable the immune system to eliminate a tumor, prevent an infection, tolerate an allergen, or halt an autoimmune attack. We think as immunologists and engineers at once.
Institute for Materials and Sustainability
The future of our planet and the quality of human life depend on engineering sustainable solutions for water and energy problems and developing new materials to promote advances in health care.
From extracting elements from seawater, to synthesizing polymers with bio-inspired, autonomous properties, to engineering self-assembled materials that prevent and treat disease, our cutting-edge research is leading the way.
Chicago Quantum Institute
Quantum computing has the potential to accelerate the advance of computing power beyond Moore’s law.
Quantum engineering could also lead to “unhackable” communications through quantum cryptography and a new class of ultra-sensitive detectors for biological and chemical sensing.
