The Edmond J. Safra Center for the Design and Engineering of Functional Biopolymers in the Negev

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev

מרכז אדמונד ספרא לתכנון ומחקר של פולימרים ביולוגיים וכימיים

 

Vision of the Center

The center will focus on a multi-level design approach as well as preparation and characterization of biopolymers with novel functionality.

The goal is to combine the individual and collaborative research to develop a fundamental understanding of complex chemical and biological systems.

The results of these studies will lead to the development of:

electronic devices

therapeutics

diagnostics

chemical research tools
