Introducing ChELSI
Chemical Engineering at the Life Science Interface
|
ChELSI is an interdisciplinary institute founded to enhance interactions between chemical engineers and biologists across strategically important research themes. The Institute was established with a £4.3m EPSRC grant awarded in 2006. This has funded a brand-new, 1500m2 building within the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield. The aim of ChELSI is to revolutionise the way in which life science research is conducted by adopting approaches from chemical engineering, and to exploit advances in biology to improve engineering processes. The Institute provides the space and facilities to enable chemical engineers and life scientists to collaborate on research in four key sectors: The Institute provides the space and facilities to enable chemical engineers and life scientists to collaborate on research in four key sectors: |
