Koff olt Laboratories Th e space plan for the new building is now complete. Th e new building will be called CBEC (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry Building) and is just west of old Koff olt Laboratories. Th e building will be shared among CBE and Chemistry to create new knowledge and collaboration through basic research in the chemical sciences. CBEC, which incorporates Koff olt Laboratories, will off er a unique centralized research facility for chemical/materials synthesis and characterization, cell and tissue culture, and biological processing and characterization. Th e new Koff olt Laboratories will include research labs and support spaces, instructional spaces, core laboratories and faculty and administrative offi ces. Th e building will be a substantial upgrade from the department’s current home and will enable a much stronger focus on interdisciplinary research.

Th e committee was especially pleased to welcome Bernard Constantino, University Architect, and Mariko Masuoka, from Pelli Clarke Pelli who provided an overview of the project planning and some preliminary design considerations for the space. Mike Boehm, Vice Provost for Academic Planning, reinforced the University’s commitment to this very important project, and reassured the committee that the new building would be an exceptional facility for Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry Th e committee will meet again in April 2011 to get an update on the building plans and continue their eff orts Left to right: Stuart Cooper, Kathleen Hogenson, Rich Brandon, Christina Stark Sistrunk, William Lowrie, Karen Laff erty to engage fellow ChemE alumni in support of the new Hendricks, Mike Winfi eld, Jim Dietz, Smith Howland, Ron Harris, Cindy Gerstle Bishop, Bill Hauschildt, Sonny Saeks, Matt Koff olt Laboratories.

  • Seminar Flyer Rashid Bashir
    PRESENTS BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology: From Lab on Chip to Printing Cellular Machines THURSDAY, May 30th 2019 12:00 – 1:00 PM 2101 ENGINEERING V Rashid Bashir, Ph.D. UIUC Dean, Department of Bioengineering ABSTRACT: Integration of biology, medicine, and fabrication methods at the micro and nano scale offers tremendous opportunities for solving important problems in biology and medicine and to enable a wide range of applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, and tissue engineering. Microfluidics and Lab-on-Chip can be very beneficial to realize practical applications in detection of disease markers, counting of specific cells from whole blood, and for identification of pathogens, at point-of-care. In this talk, we will present data driven approaches for stratification of sepsis, detection of cells and proteins from a drop of blood, rapid detection of pathogens from body fluids, and spatial mapping of nucleic acids from cancer tumors. We will also present our work on bio- printing with stereolithography to produce bio-hybrid devices made of polymers and cells for the development of biological machines, soft robotics, and hyper organs. Such complex cellular systems will be a major challenge for the next decade and beyond, requiring knowledge from tissue engineering, synthetic biology, micro-fabrication and nanotechnology, systems biology, and developmental biology. These devices could have potential applications in drug delivery, power generation, and other biomimetic systems. BIOGRAPHY: Rashid Bashir is Dean of Engineering, the Grainger Distinguished Chair in Engineering and Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Previously, he was the Executive Associate Dean at the Carle-Illinois College of Medicine (2017 – present), the Abel Bliss Professor of Engineering, Head of Department of Bioengineering (2013 – 2017), and Director of the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory (a campus-wide clean room research facility) (2007 – 2013).
