Engineering in genomics: the interdisciplinary nature of genomics

The Department of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Washington is a unique example of how scientists and engineers may be trained and work together to develop new tools for cutting-edge biological research. The interdisciplinary CAP5000 Team, supported by the NIH SERCA program and Washington State, is another example of how biotechnology experts, engineers and industry can work together to fulfill some of the needs of the Human Genome Project and future needs of biotechnology research.<
