2013 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Biomolecular Engineering

This session invites contributions on novel methods for engineering biomolecules and the applications of these in therapeutics, diagnostics, sensors, and other engineering applications. Fundamental experimental and computational studies on the structure and structure-function properties of engineered biomolecules are also welcome.
