Startup GOI Initiative Showcase

  • Biomedical Engineering:

    The Biomaterials Group aims to develop self-assembled, bio-integrated electronic, synthetic, and nanoscale materials for biomedical applications. Research and teaching areas include self-assembled nanostructures, bioelectronics, synthetic biology, bio-membrane dynamics, nanotechnology, controlled drug release, cell-material interactions, immunoengineering and computational analysis of molecular dynamics.

  • Biomechanics:

    Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems, using the methods of mechanics. Biomechanics can be applied to whole organisms, organs, cells and cell organelles. Biomechanical experimental measures and computational approaches are fundamental to nearly every possible biomedical engineering application.
