Institute for Cellular Engineering Susan Roberts directs the Institute for Cellular Engineering (ICE), an NSF-sponsored IGERT Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst aimed at creating an interdisciplinary environemnt for the advancement of cellular engineering-based research. Engineering cellular form and function is the basis for many ventures in the biomedical and biotechnology industries, including design of bioremediation processes, generation of artificial organs/tissues, production of biologics from cell culture, design of new and improved protein-based pharmaceuticals and targeted drug delivery. How our research fits into this program Additionally, completion of the program now grants students a Graduate Certificate in Cellular Engineering in addition to a graduate degree from their home department.
