The CBE Early Career Faculty Advisory Panel was created to integrate early career faculty into the CBE through research, education, outreach, and industry interaction. Early career faculty have demonstrated their commitment to CBE's four aims and their research aligns with the strategic mission of the CBE—to advance the frontiers of health, energy, industry, and the environment through biofilm research, education, and outreach.
