UC Berkeley's Master of Bioprocess Engineering (MBPE) degree program is driven by the increasingly important role of the bioprocessing field in the world economy. Chemical engineers with expertise in biotechnology and bioprocessing are key to the translation of fundamental research into application through commercial manufacturing processes and products. The bio-based production of pharmaceuticals, sustainable chemicals and fuels, and foodstuffs are just a few examples of industrial processes that require biochemical engineering design and development approaches. To be successful, practitioners must possess not only fundamental knowledge in biochemistry, molecular biology, and chemical engineering but also a hands-on skillset applicable to scaling technologies between laboratory, pilot, and commercial facilities.
