School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering
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.
Topics in Biomaterials and Biotransport
- Patient specific implants
- Nanoscale surface modification of medical devices, and nanoparticles in protein/drug delivery
- Biomedical manufacturing
- Design of medical assistive devices
- Materials and devices for sensing, bioimaging and drug delivery
- Micro/Nano-fluidic and bio-fluidics
- Modeling of mesoscale molecule adhesion and targeted drug delivery
- Multiscale modeling and simulation of protein-protein interactions
- Medical robotics
