Terre Haute (Biofilm Institute)

Terre Haute (Biofilm Institute) is a research center focused on studying biofilms—complex communities of microorganisms that stick to surfaces. These biofilms can be found in medical settings, industrial environments, and natural ecosystems, often causing infections or equipment issues. The institute develops new ways to understand, prevent, and control harmful biofilms, improving public health and industrial safety. Their work combines microbiology, engineering, and technology to address challenges related to microbial growth and biofilm management, ultimately aiming to develop innovative solutions to improve health outcomes and industrial efficiencies.
