What’s that new building behind Bevier Hall? While the Institute for Genomic Biology is a campus wide endeavor, the building houses research in areas of ACES expertise. Molecular Bioengineering of Biomass Conversion, and Regenerative Biology and Tissue Engineering are two examples of research involving ACES that take place in this 186,000 square foot building. This facility, completed in October of 2006, houses 400 faculty, staff and students. In recent news, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will join the University of California at Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in forming the Energy Biosciences Institute to study biofuel production. The energy company, BP, is providing $500 million to fund the research program. Scientists at Illinois will build on their pioneering research in the use of Miscanthus as a bioenergy crop. Their earlier work found that this hardy perennial grass is more than twice as productive as switchgrass when converted to fuel. Miscanthus is now considered a frontrunner in the effort to find an economical and environmentally friendly fuel source.
