Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering Research Group
The Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering Laboratory at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore is located in the Department of Materials Engineering and is led by Dr. Kaushik Chatterjee.
Our research interests lie at the interface of engineering and biology. In our laboratory, a multi-disciplinary research team of students and scholars from a wide spectrum of academic backgrounds work to apply advanced materials technologies to address complex biomedical challenges.
