Biomaterials & bioinspired materials

Biomaterials are substances engineered to interface with the body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. Traditionally these include metals (eg. hip implants), ceramics (eg. dental implants) and polymers (eg. vascular grafts), but can also include complex materials such as decellularized tissue, engineered cell sheets, nanoparticles, etc.

Biomechanics

The biomechanics of human movement investigates a person’s physical performance. Our research focuses on the biomechanics of human movement in the presence of a medical device and on the performance of people with amputation, and other medical conditions such as cerebral palsy and stroke.

Regenerative medicine & tissue engineering

Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering aims to restore, maintain or improve tissue and organ function lost due to age, disease, injury, or congenital defects. This can include stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms or assembly of functional tissue constructs outside the body.
