Presentación

El Departamento de Bioingeniería se fundó el año 2007 por agrupación de diversos laboratorios del IQS en el ámbito de las Ciencias de la Vida y por la incorporación de nuevos grupos de investigación. Componen el Departamento cinco laboratorios: Bioquímica, Biomateriales, Microbiología, Bioprocesos e Ingeniería de Tejidos. Sus áreas de actividad combinan diferentes aproximaciones de investigación básica y aplicada en biomedicina, biotecnología industrial, y biotecnología alimentaria y medioambiental.
