Welcome to the Department of Bioengineering

A new collaborative research project led by UC Riverside bioengineering professor Jiayu Liao has received a $100,000 award from the City of Hope-UC Riverside Biomedical Research Initiative (CUBRI-UCR) to advance a promising approach for discovering next-generation therapies for cancer and other diseases.

Four UC Riverside students and alumni have earned National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, one of the nation’s most competitive honors for emerging researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Over three days, participants stepped into the role of future faculty, presenting research, engaging with academic leaders, and navigating the complexities of the faculty hiring process.

Fake news can be tricky to spot, but spotting fake drugs just got a little easier. UC Riverside researchers have devised a low-cost way to help distinguish legitimate medications from counterfeit ones.
