Welcome!

In the Alge Lab, our mission is to advance science and healthcare through biomaterials-focused research.  We are located in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M University. We are also affiliated with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

The immune response to biomaterials is a major focus in our group, and we are conducting pioneering studies on the impact of poly(ethylene glycol) immunogenicity on hydrogel implant biocompatibility. We are also developing novel materials for tissue and regenerative engineering and applying our expertise in biomaterial synthesis and fabrication to medical device development.

Diversity is a core value of our group, and we welcome individuals from all backgrounds. We are also committed to having an impact through service and outreach.
