Research Fields
Research efforts are largely based in optical microscopy, spectroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging for the purposes of improving the diagnosis of cancer and infectious diseases.
With a strong translational focus and extensive ties to industry, research topics include on-chip systems, devices to support heart healing, interventional stroke and aneurysm treatment, and pediatric devices.
Research advances in biomaterials and biomanufacturing include “smart” materials, biomimetic nanomaterials, 3D printing strategies, cell manufacturing, and wound hemostasis.
Supported by the Center for Remote Health Technologies & Systems, research efforts are focused on sensors and point-of-care devices for on-demand detection of biomarkers for chronic disease.
