My lab focuses on developing novel systems and devices around biologically-active biomaterials by integrating engineering, materials science, optics, and biology:
- high-precision 3D fabrication of biomaterial-based devices and implants
- biomaterial design and evaluation
- regenerative medicine grafts and therapies, focus on the nervous system
- targeted delivery of therapeutics (compounds, cells)
- advanced in vitro systems for tissue modeling and drug screening
- medical robotics
- cell-matrix interactions
- biomechanics and their effects in disease and wound healing
- fluorescence microscopy/spectroscopy and image informatics
