Boston University
Researchers are continuing to move in to Boston University's Life Science and Engineering Building, recently completed in April 2005. The new 187,000-sf facility houses research laboratories dedicated to the fields of biology, chemistry, biomedical engineering, and bioinformatics. Forty-five permanent faculty members will perform university, private, and grant-driven research there, including research funded by a Whitaker Foundation grant for biomedical engineering and a $10-million grant from NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences to study new methodologies to produce novel chemical libraries for biological screening.
