Additionally, four DOE Bioenergy Research Centers were established to pursue innovative early-stage research on bio-based products, clean energy, and next-generation bioenergy technologies. As such, the study of biology lends itself to a wide range of skills and concepts that can be applied to a host of different careers. These facilities house unique world-class scientific instruments and capabilities that are available to the entire research community on a competitive, peer review basis. As you most likely know, biology is a natural sciencealong with physics, chemistry, astronomy, and Earth sciencefrom which other, more specialized areas of science begin. At its simplest, biotechnology is technology based on biology - biotechnology harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and. In the last decade, BER research has made considerable advances in biology underpinning the production of biofuels and bioproducts from renewable biomass, spearheaded progress in genome sequencing and genomic science, and strengthened the predictive capabilities of ecosystem and global scale models using the world’s fastest computers.īER supports three DOE Office of Science user facilities, the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility, Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), and Joint Genome Institute (JGI). We pioneered the initial research on atmospheric and ocean circulation that eventually led to climate and Earth system models. We helped map the human genome and lay the foundation for modern biotechnology. Over the last three decades, BER has transformed biological and Earth system science. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms. BER research also advances understanding of the dynamic processes needed to model the Earth system, including atmospheric, land masses, ocean, sea ice, and subsurface processes. ![]() This knowledge enables the reengineering of microbes and plants for energy and other applications. The program seeks to discover the underlying biology of plants and microbes as they respond to and modify their environments. The Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program supports scientific research and facilities to achieve a predictive understanding of complex biological, earth, and environmental systems with the aim of advancing the nation’s energy and infrastructure security. ![]()
