Engineering Biology Research Consortium (EBRC)

The Engineering Biology Research Consortium (EBRC) is a collaborative organization where scientists, engineers, and policymakers work together to advance the field of engineering biology. This discipline involves designing and building biological systems—like cells or enzymes—in a precise way, similar to engineering mechanical systems. EBRC sets research priorities, promotes innovation, and guides responsible development of biological technologies to address challenges in health, energy, and the environment. Its goal is to foster research that safely and effectively leverages biology for beneficial, real-world applications.
