Birth of Berkeley bioengineering

Professor Tom Budinger is the founding chair for Berkeley’s brand-new Department of Bioengineering.

The first new department established by the college in over 40 years, bioengineering brings together the fields of engineering, biology and medicine to harness faculty expertise in synthetic biology, biomaterials, stem cell engineering and more. The department operates joint Ph.D and Master of Translational Medicine programs with UCSF.
