    Drexel University was founded in 1891 in Philadelphia,Drexel is a comprehensive global research university ranked among the top 100 in the nation. With approximately 26000 students, Drexel is one of America's 15 largest private universities. Since its founding, the institution has remained a privately controlled, nonsectarian, coeducational center of higher learning,distinguished by a commitment to preparing men and women for success in their chosen careers.Research at Drexel is driven by faculty from all disciplines. Medical and health sciences research complements traditional strengths in engineering, biotechnology, basic science, information science, and business, alongside innovative scholarship in media arts and design, the social sciences, education, and law. The Office of Research at Drexel University is committed to facilitating these research efforts.

    The Chemical and Biological Engineering Department (CBE) will equip graduates with the broad technical knowledge, real-world experience and teamwork skills required for them to have productive professional and civic lives, while conducting a nationally recognized research program whose focus is providing technical solutions for society’s challenges.
