Major Research Thrust Areas

CBE’s core faculty members represent a variety of academic units, primarily within the School of Engineering, but with substantial participation from School of Science faculty and collaborating faculty from Harvard Medical School, Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Cleveland Clinic. These faculty participate in multi-investigator programs focusing on CBE’s primary research thrust areas:

(1) Cell and tissue engineering

(2) Designer biomaterials and scaffolds for regenerative medicine and drug delivery

(3) Mechanobiology: Biophysical regulation of cell signaling and tissue function
