Biomaterials and Biotransport
As the implementation of engineering ideas in biomedical applications becomes increasingly important, WSU researchers are carrying out a variety of cutting-edge, interdisciplinary projects on biomaterials, including materials design, manufacturing, and characterization with word-class facilities. Moreover, WSU is actively exploring the transport phenomena in medical robotics, biosensing/bioimaging, and targeted drug delivery through experimentation and numerical modeling at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
