Abstract Tissue and Surgical Engineering is a multi-discipline research which involves biomaterials science, biomedical engineering, precision design and manufacturing, and micro/nano technology. In this presentation I will introduce several NSF funded research projects we have developed by using advanced bio, micro and nano technology in tissue and surgical engineering applications. The project topics are: Biomimetic Structured Porogen Freeform Fabrication System for Tissue and Surgical Engineering; Electrowetting Micro Array Printing System for Bioactive Tissue Construct Manufacturing; Design and Manufacturing of Bioactive Surgical Fixation Devices Using Injection Molding of Gradient Cellular Structures; and Functionalized Nanodiamond Reinforced Biopolymers for Microporous Surgical Fixation Devices. |
