Molecular Engineering (MS)

About this programme

The Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute brings together faculty teams from across campus to catalyze translational research in the Clean Tech and Biotech areas. It is intended to serve both as an intellectual accelerator to bring fresh approaches and ideas to societal challenges and as a physical incubator where interdisciplinary teams can come together in a shared space. The MolE Ph.D. program is an interdisciplinary graduate program housed in the UW Graduate School, administered by the Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute, and overseen by a committee comprised of representatives from the departments of Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Materials Sciences & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics. The program removes conventional boundaries between science and engineering disciplines to prepare the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers and innovators to solve complex health and energy challenges.
