Research

Upon graduation Palsson joined the chemical engineering faculty at University of Michigan where he served as a professor until 1995. In 1995, he joined the department of Bioengineering at University of California, San Diego and was named the Galetti Chair of Bioengineering in 2004. In 2005 he became a faculty member of Keio University.

Palsson has authored or co-authored over 300 peer-reviewed scientific articles{{PubMedAuthorSearch|Palsson|BO}}https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=bernhard+palsson Bernhard Palsson in Google Scholar and is the holder of over 35 patents.
