BEE 3600: Molecular and Cellular Biosystems Engineering

Buz teaches an underagraduate class on systems and synthetic biologyin the spring semester. Material for the spring 2019 class was posted on Blackboard. Material for spring 2020 to 2024 is posted on Canvas.

BEE 3280/5280: Systems and Synthetic Biology for Sustainable Energy

Buz teaches a graduate class on synthetic biology and sustainable energy. The syllabus is posted here (poster is here), and material for the class is posted on Canvas. Every year we try to tackle a new problem in sustainability and publish a paper as a class.
