The goal of the New Hampshire Center for Multiscale Modeling and Manufacturing of Biomaterials (NH BioMade), made possible by a five-year $20 million federal grant, is to advance the design and manufacture of biomaterials and develop the knowledge to predict and control their composition, structure, properties, and function. The depth of knowledge and engineering innovations advanced by NH BioMade will be transferable to other biomaterials and manufacturing techniques for fundamental and industrially-based research and practice.

NH BioMade supports the rapidly growing New Hampshire biomaterials industry through knowledge generation, academic-industrial research partnerships, and workforce development, enabling rapid advancement in biomaterials design and manufacturing. It is closely aligned with the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) in Manchester.

The NH Biomade ELO project was funded through NH EPSCoR. For more information, visit the NH Biomade Website.

What do students have to say about their Experiences?

"I thought it was super cool to be working with a real scientist and they don’t always have white lab coats!"

"This experience opened my eyes to a whole new, an exponentially growing field of science. I really enjoyed learning about how 3D printers are helping people all over the world."

"Overall it was a very fun and interesting experiment that opened us up to the world of Biomedical Engineering and a lot of the possible career paths it could take us on. It definitely prepared us for the future and gave us a sample of the work we could be doing and the type of topics we will be studying for the next four years in college."
