Bone and Cartilage
Labs studying Bone and Cartilage
Ìý
Anseth Lab
The Anseth Lab designs innovative biomaterials with programmed, tunable properties and are pioneers in stem cell and organoid technologies. Their engineered cell-material constructs have applications from understanding development and disease to tissue replacement and regeneration.Learn More
Bryant Lab
The Bryant Lab engineers 3D printed biomimetic and bioactive gels for tissue repair and regeneration with a special focus on solutions for cartilage loss or damage. They are aggressively pursuing cures for osteoarthritis through a synthesis of engineered materials, therapeutic cells, and novel drug delivery systems.Learn More
Burdick Lab
The Burdick Biomaterials and Biofabrication Lab designs new biomaterials and biofabrication technologies for lab-created microtissues that model health and disease and for clinical use. They are leaders in developing self-healing, injectable gels whose uses range from drug delivery to tissue patching, such as heart attack damage.Learn More
Ferguson Lab
The Ferguson Biomechanics and Biomimetic Lab studies how the microstructure, composition, and material properties of tissues influence mechanical behavior. Further, they examine how these properties change with disrupted mechanical loading, aging, or disease.Learn More
Lynch Lab
The Lynch Lab studies the skeletal mechanical environment and its regulation of cancer using mechanical loading model systems to correlate cellular function with cancer pathogenesis, tissue-level changes in tumor burden, and skeletal tissue strength. They aim to identify targets for treating and preventing bone metastases as well as cancer-associated reductions in bone strength.Learn More
Neu Lab
The Neu Soft Tissue Bioengineering Lab develops technology for fundamental study and engineering of connective and cardiac tissues to inform new therapies for disorders of the connective and cardiac tissues, including arthritis and fibrosis. Biomechanics is a central lab theme, and they span multiple engineering and biology disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, micro/nanotechological, biochemical, and physiological subspecialties.Learn More
Welker Lab
The Welker Lab works on movement assistive devices at the intersection of biomechanics, haptics, and robotics. Their work on the human-device as a system aims to improve movement for individuals with impairments or injuries and to reduce injury or prevent fatigue in the healthy population.Learn More
