School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW is internationally recognised for the development of biomaterials and implants to achieve targeted medicine and to help us live healthier lives. We engineer and synthesise organic and inorganic biomaterials using a range of biomolecular engineering and synthetic biology approaches; we develop technologies and devices to release therapeutics at the right dose, right place, and right time; and we characterise materials in contact with living cells and tissues. We focus on technologies ranging from molecular scales to manufacturing, for applications in combating deadly diseases such as cancer, bacterial infection, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, spinal cord injury, and gut disorder.
