Our Mission

The Engineering Biology Initiative (EBi), formerly Health Innovations Via Engineering (HIVE), advances discovery by design by developing the principles, tools, and engineering approaches that make biomedical innovation increasingly systematic, predictive, and design-driven—ultimately expanding our ability to improve human health. By bringing together expertise across UCSF, EBi enables researchers to design, build, test, and refine biological systems and the molecules, devices, and other interventions that engage them.
