Our team of faculty (led by Suzanne Scarlata) has research interests that begin with the examination of health at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels, and extend to patient health and behavior, medical diagnostics, and robotic surgery:
- Biological Response Mechanisms & Detection: Focus on biological processes on the molecular level includes biomarkers, pharmaceuticals (Faculty leads: Anita Mattson, Tanja Dominko)
- Cellular & Molecular Engineering: Focus on problems on the cellular level seeks to understand and engineer cell behavior (Faculty lead: Sue Roberts)
- PracticePoint: Focus on cyber-physical systems; medical robotics for surgery, including integration and image processing (Faculty lead: Gregory Fischer)
- Healthcare Delivery Institute: Focus on addressing healthcare challenges by applying digital technologies and IoT, process design and systems engineering, data intelligence and machine learning, cybersecurity, and enhanced user experience design (Faculty leads: Emmanuel Agu, Diane Strong)
- Neuroscience/Engineering: Focus on all aspects of neuroscience from the molecular and cellular, to behavior, network analysis and imaging. (Faculty lead: Jean King)
- Regenerative Medicine & Biomanufacturing: Focus on tissue engineering and repair. (Faculty lead: George Pins)
