Faculty in our department focus their research in nine core areas encompassing biological, environmental, and educational research. Our department offers an undergraduate course of study leading to a B.S. in Chemical Engineering through three tracks of study: (i) Traditional Track, (ii) Biotechnology and Bioengineering Track and (iii) Environmental Engineering and Sustainability track. We also offer both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees through two different graduate programs. Details can be found on our website: http://www.umbc.edu/cbe

Surface Modification at Nanoscale; Nanoparticle-Nanowire Transition
(NASA, 2018-04-15)Binary, ternary and quaternary oxides and selenides have been developed and used in multiple applications including high power lasers, detectors, dielectric energy storage and variety of optical devices. These materials ... -
Design and characteristics of hydroxyapatites: effect of radiation
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2018-05-14)We have prepared silicate based hard materials and have processed it with organic flux. Because of the bioactivities of hydroxyapatites with tissues, this class of materials have attracted interest for bone applications. ... -
Rapid recombinant protein expression in cell-free extracts from human blood
(Nature, 2018-06-22)Several groups have recently reported on the utility of cell-free expression systems to make therapeutic proteins, most of them employing CHO or E. coli cell-free extracts. Here, we propose an alternative that uses human ... -
Persistent Reductions in the Bioavailability of PCBs at a Tidally Inundated Phragmites australis Marsh Amended with Activated Carbon
(Wiley, June 5, 20)In situ amendment of sediments with highly sorbent materials like activated carbon (AC) is an increasingly viable strategy to reduce the bioavailability of persistent, sediment‐associated contaminants to benthic communities. ... -
Enhanced biochars can match activated carbon performance in sediments with high native bioavailability and low final porewater PCB concentrations
(Elsevier, 2018)A bench scale study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of in situ amendments to reduce the bioavailability of pollutants in sediments from a site impacted with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic ... -
Improving the recombinant human erythropoietin glycosylationusing microsome supplementation in CHO cell-free system
(Wiley, 2018)Cell-Free Protein Synthesis (CFPS) offers many advantages for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins using the HO cell-free system. However, many complex proteins are still difficult to express using this method. ... -
Blood Serum Affects Polysaccharide Production and Surface Protein Expression in S. Aureus
(Juniper, 2017)Background: S. aureus biofilm serves a major role in pathogenesis. Two of the major components of bacterial biofilm are Polysaccharides intercellular adhesions (PIA) and surface proteins. It is not known how PIA and surface ... -
The capsule polysaccharide structure and biogenesis for non-O1 Vibrio cholerae NRT36S: genes are embedded in the LPS region
(Originally published by: BMC Microbiology, 2007-03-15)Background: In V. cholerae, the biogenesis of capsule polysaccharide is poorly understood. The elucidation of capsule structure and biogenesis is critical to understanding the evolution of surface polysaccharide and the ...
