Engineering Human Resilience

Addressing challenges to human health and safety — from modeling antibodies’ potential to anticipating bioterrorism, LLNL has a long history of delivering bioengineering enabled solutions.

Our Mission

The mission of the Center for Bioengineering is to harness the Lab’s capabilities in AI-machine learning, data processing, nano-scale additive manufacturing — among others — to support the Lab’s national security mission in the realm of countering biological threats and improving human health more generally. We are also an incubator for biotechnology and bioengineering talent, ensuring that LLNL remains at the forefront of these fields.

Our History

LLNL's history of developing innovative bioengineering systems dates back to the 1970s, when researchers developed the first laser-based cell sorters. Later, researchers here created miniaturized polymerase chain reaction systems that revolutionized molecular diagnostics. And recently, bioengineers at LLNL were involved in both fabricating implanted biomedical devices and handling the large amounts of data they collect.

Today, the Center for Bioengineering has a growing leadership role in precision medicine initiatives such as the Accelerating Therapeutics for Opportunities in Medicine Consortium, the national Cancer Moonshot initiative, and human organ models that use three-dimensional bioprinting and microchips to re-create human physiology outside the body.
