As automobile electrification speeds up, the world faces a need for critical metals to make these vehicles possible, with high demand setting off economic snags and supply-chain hitches. Read more
A recent technology feature in the journal Nature highlighted the work of CBE Professor Matt DeLisa, the William L. Lewis Professor of Engineering and Director of the Cornell Institute of Biotechnology. The story, “ How cell-free processes could speed up vaccine development,” discusses the ongoing efforts of bioengineers, including DeLisa and his team, to discover cheaper and easier ways to make proteins and other complex biomolecules. Antibodies, for instance, have become the bread and butter for many pharmaceutical companies, and DeLisa says that the ability to synthesize these molecules... Read more
