AGAH NAMED DEANKU Engineering Welcomes New Dean

KU’s 280,000-square-foot Integrated Science Building opened in 2018 and is home to world-class laboratory and classroom space for cutting-edge research in bioengineering, chemistry, medicinal chemistry, physics, molecular biosciences, and related fields. It provides new ways for students to interact with instructors and classmates, and offers close integration of undergraduate studies with research activities.

KU Bioengineering is characterized by an entrepreneurial spirit and has an established track record of start-up success. This includes Savara, a publicly traded company that produces an aerosolized treatment for cystic fibrosis. It’s a spin-off from the laboratory of Distinguished Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Cory Berkland.
