MSU’s Center for Biofilm Engineering celebrating 25 years

This week, Montana State University’s Center for Biofilm Engineering http://www.biofilm.montana.edu/ is marking its 25th anniversary at its semiannual conference with representatives from 35 companies and eight universities – including collaborators from England, Belgium, the Netherlands, China and Taiwan.

The CBE story is one of tenacious efforts – to get a center funded, to keep it from fading prematurely, and to fulfill or even exceed its original research mandate. Under its founder Bill Characklis, it began with a vision that university research transfered into the commercial sector could benefit society and buoy the pursuit of fundamental science and engineering.
