What Types of Companies Hire Engineers?

1. The Institute for Bioengineering, Biotechnology, and Quantitative Biomedical Research

   The Institute for Bioengineering, Biotechnology, and Quantitative Biomedical Research is a new addition to the California Institute for Science and Innovation. The institute, which works to develop new technologies and new areas of research based on the application of the physical, mathematical, and engineering principles to biomedical problems, is a partnership between the University of California, the University of San Francisco, and the University of Santa Cruz.

   The institute does research in bioengineering, biotechnology, bioinformatics, computational biology, structural and chemical biology, and experimental genomic, proteomics, and biochemistry. Some projects that the institute is currently working on are building bio-microelectronic mechanical systems, engineering new tissues, making models of the cell, decoding of disease-causing genes, and discovering what drives biological motors. Its products include the technologies it discovers, instrumentation they design, and even information they research.
