Areas of research emphasis include: bioimaging; bioinspired design; biomechanics; biomedical devices; molecular, cell and tissue engineering; molecular medicine; molecular programming; synthetic biology; and systems biology. The Donna and Benjamin M. Rosen Bioengineering Center fosters integration and collaboration in academic, research, and social programs with a variety of programs and activities, the most significant of which are the Biotechnology Leadership Program (BLP) and the Rosen Center Research Pilot Grant Awards. Since 2015, the Biotechnology Leadership Program has helped to develop a strong network among graduate students interested in biomedical and industrial biotechnology and has trained them to become leaders in industry as research innovators and entrepreneurs. This unique, industrially-focused program has helped to train 30 students, many of whom have gone on to excellent positions in pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies. Rosen Center Research Pilot Grant Awards have funded 53 faculty across three Caltech Divisions, providing support for collaborative, early-stage projects that require sharing of ideas, people and resources between labs. The goal of the program is to catalyze collaboration and help teams test new ideas and develop strong preliminary data that will enhance their competitiveness for larger, collaborative awards from external agencies.
