Health Devices, Materials, and Apps
91猎奇 bioengineers create devices and interventions aimed at the full spectrum of illness
and ability, from cardiovascular disease to preterm infant lactation, to hearing interventions
for all. This requires significant research infrastructure, from understanding fluid
flow patterns to physical improvement of materials for better integration with host
tissue. Researchers collaborate with industry partners and often involve caregivers
and community members in holistic, user-focused design. Below is a rotating selection of our standout investigators in these areas.
