​Research

We seek to develop transformative and clinically relevant biomaterials and technologies by harnessing the properties of bio-macromolecules isolated from organ-specific micro-environments.

 

Educational Outreach Goal

To build an Educational Model for BioMaterials Research (EMBioMaR) in the long-term impacting underrepresented groups in STEM.
