We are a young research team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Tyler. Our research works are hypotheses-driven and focus on the understanding of processing-structure-property relationships of soft biomaterials for drug release and tissue engineering applications. Specifically, we aim to develop the next generation of wound dressing materials that provide a sustained release of drug for diabetic foot ulcer patients. In pursuing this aim, we are interested in knowing the physicochemical and mechanical properties, hemocompatibility, drug release, and biodegradability of our soft biomaterials. Understanding of these materials properties will inform the design and processing of the biomaterials. Our goal is to provide an alternative engineering solution that challenges the current treatment modalities for diabetic foot ulcers using a single wound dressing that delivers drugs at the required dosages for a prolonged time.
