SUMMARY:CHE 598 Seminar: Enhancing Sustainability and Health Through Synthetic Bioengineering
LOCATION:Center for Undergraduate Education (CUE), NE Troy Lane, Pullman, WA 99164
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Dr. Bin Cao, Associate Professor, Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, WSU\n\nBIOGRAPHY:\n\nDr. Bin Cao is an associate professor in the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, Washington State University. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the National University of Singapore. He was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) in 2024.\n\n \n\nABSTRACT:\n\nMy research group is dedicated to tackling key challenges in sustainability and health through synthetic bioengineering. Specifically, my work centers on applying tools from molecular and synthetic biology, integrated with engineering principles, to design novel microbial systems and bioprocesses or enhance existing ones across multiple scales, from DNA and proteins to microbial communities. These efforts are aimed at developing innovative solutions to pressing environmental and health issues, such as removing emerging contaminants, recovering critical resources, promoting sustainable biomanufacturing, and combating antimicrobial resistance. In this seminar, I will use our recent work as examples to show how we can engineer microbial systems and their interactions for biotechnological applications to achieve sustainability goals.\n\n
