Experts on biomaterials
Biomaterial scientists and engineers develop materials, both natural and synthetic, that play a broad range of roles in medicine and health care. From medical implants to engineered tissues, the development of biomaterials draws on expertise in biology and synthetic biology, chemistry and chemical engineering, physics, and materials science. WPI experts on biomaterials are exploring the development and use of biomaterials in such areas as women’s health, healing connective tissue, regenerating skin and other tissues, and enhance the production of important drugs and other biomolecules.
