Polymeric Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Laboratory

About the Polymeric Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Laboratory

The Polymeric Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Laboratory focuses on design, synthesis and development of novel hydrogel-based scaffolds and nanoparticle biomaterials with highly controlled network architecture, material properties and embedded bifunctionality for tissue engineering and targeted drug delivery applications.

In collaboration with engineers and medical experts in polymer engineering, biofilm engineering, synthetic biology, angiogenesis, multivariate statistics, obesity, surgical infection, and mesenchymal stem cell regulation for cartilage biology signaling and osteoarthritis, we aim to develop novel bioengineering approaches to address areas of significant clinical need.
