No one knows when the next major earthquake will strike. In the meantime, researchers are working to understand how these events could disrupt access to healthcare in densely populated regions — and how best to prepare for them.

Berkeley engineers just made a discovery that could help advance heart failure therapeutics!
Using a heart-on-a-chip model, a team led by Professor Kevin Healy found a lipid nanoparticle that could penetrate the heart muscle to deliver therapeutic gene therapies.

Researchers leverage advanced bioengineering techniques to develop plastics made from sustainable biomaterials
Less than 10% of plastics are recycled. A Purdue-led team, backed by NSF, is creating durable bioplastics from raw materials — reducing waste and strengthening sustainable manufacturing.
