Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology

<p>The Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology is a unit of the <a href="/facts/University_of_Illinois_Urbana-Champaign/gusw7HoS">University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign</a> dedicated to interdisciplinary research. A gift from scientist, businessman, and philanthropist <a href="/facts/Arnold_O._Beckman/I58YjKA1">Arnold O. Beckman</a> (1900–2004) and his wife Mabel (1900–1989) led to the building of the Institute which opened in 1989. It is one of five institutions which receive support from the  Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation on an ongoing basis. Current research at Beckman involves the areas of <a href="/facts/Molecular_engineering/ANbdfhgN">molecular engineering</a>, intelligent systems, and <a href="/facts/Imaging_science/Lkw7V9M8">imaging science</a>. Researchers in these areas work across traditional academic boundaries in scientific projects that can lead to the development of real-world applications in medicine, industry, electronics, and human health across the lifespan.
