Faculty By Research Area

Biomaterials

Topical areas, each with a representative list of faculty whose research is involved, include:

  • Anti-microbial polymer development (Chi, Whitten)
  • Tissue engineering and tissue models (Canavan, Dirk, Salas)
  • Control of cell-surface interactions (Canavan, Dirk)
  • Development and applications of model biological membranes (Chi, Whitten)

Instrumentation and Bioanalytical Methods

Topical areas, some of which are still in an emergent phase, each with a representative list of faculty whose research is involved, include:

  • New sensing strategies based on biomolecular computing (Stefanovic)
  • Functional tissue scaffolds developed with 3D bioprinting, electrospinning, and hybrid technologies (Salas)
  • Macroscale mechanical testing of human tissue (Salas)

Computation and Modeling of Biological Systems

  • Use of biological materials for computations (Stefanovic)
