This programme funds the engineering side of biology, at every scale from sensing a biomarker to making a protein to restoring a function of the body. NSF's framing is that US leadership in biotechnology needs engineering at all of those scales.

The method is combination: fundamental mechanistic insight together with experimental and computational technique, producing platforms, devices, organism
