内容简介：
【简介】 The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Colorado is a world-class department with 17 full-time faculty and six part-time faculty, 21 postdoctoral fellows and research technicians, 68 graduate students, and more than 240 undergraduate students. Their research program is extremely active, including research centers in the membranes, biotechnology, and photopolymers.
They currently have a National Science Foundation Center for Membrane Applied Science and Technology (MAST) that is funded by NSF, Industrial Sponsors , the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, and the University of Colorado. In addition to Chemical Engineering, faculty from Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering and faculty from other Colorado schools have projects with the Center.
The Center for Pharmaceutical Biotechnology is jointly run by the Department of Chemical Engineering and the School of Pharmacy and is funded by industrial sponsors. The Center is divided into three research cores: (i) pharmaceutics, covering drug stability and drug delivery research, (ii) molecular biology, where recombinant DNA technology is employed to identify new drug targets, synthesize macromolecular therapeutics, and understand the molecular basis of disease, and (iii) analytical chemistry, where new methods are developed to characterize macromolecular structure, in vivo drug concentrations, and drug purity.
The newest Center is an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Fundamentals and Application of Photopolymerization and is operated jointly with the University of Iowa. It is currently funded by ten companies and is being considered for NSF funding.
