Planning IUCRC: Center for Biological Applications of Solid-State Systems (C-BASS)
The Center on Biological Applications of Solid-State Systems (C-BASS) seeks to transform both the biotechnology and semiconductor sectors by forging new connections between these two largely disjoint ecosystems and by training a generation of scientists and engineers well versed in both fields. The Center proposes a comprehensive research program designed to expand and train the workforce required to implement this vision, while creating new technologies. This planning meeting will bring together a range of stakeholders including educational institutions, large and small companies, manufacturing partners, and venture capitalists who will decide on key research areas as potential members of the Center.
