Learn MoreAdvancing the frontiers of health, energy, industry, and the environment through biofilm research, education, and outreach. For nearly 35 years, the CBE has supported transdisciplinary research teams in the exploration of scientific inquiry, the development of standardized methods, the application of state-of-the-art imaging techniques, and the service of a think tank to industry’s greatest biofilm challenges. As part of the MSU Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering, the CBE gives students a chance to get a head start on their careers by working on research teams led by world-recognized leaders in the biofilm field. Meet The Team Biofilms are 3.5 billion years old... Biofilm research is ONLY 35 We need to catch up... Biofilms are notoriously difficult to control. Biofilms create costly – and deadly – medical problems. $500 billion spent annually in the fight against biocorrosion. Explore the Knowledge Base Biofilm Basics Biofilms are remarkable communities of microorganisms that have been shaping the world since the days of early life.
