Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine
A central theme in bioengineering is the repair and replacement of human tissues damaged by injury, aging and illness. This field bridges UW BIOE's historical strength in development of non-living biomaterials with new approaches based on engineering of the living tissues themselves. At UW BIOE, our research in this field addresses cardiovascular disease, transplant rejection, wound healing, prevention of bacterial infection, improved prosthetics, and engineering of active neural systems.
