Centre for Biofilm Engineering

The Centre for Biofilm Engineering is a research facility dedicated to studying biofilms—communities of microorganisms like bacteria that stick together on surfaces. These biofilms can impact health, industry, and the environment, sometimes causing infections or equipment damage but also offering potential in pollution cleanup. The centre conducts advanced research to understand how biofilms form, develop, and can be controlled or utilized. Its work supports developing better materials, cleaning methods, and treatments, helping address challenges and harness biofilms' benefits across various fields.
