Master of Biotechnology Program

The Master of Biotechnology Program (MBP) was established in 2003; it is administered by the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. The MBP is distinguished from other Masters of Biotechnology programs by the integration of biology and engineering, combined with extensive hands-on research in Northwestern University faculty laboratories on both the main and medical school campus.
