Biomedical engineers have developed a new bioinspired technique that transforms silk protein into complex materials that are easily programmable at the nano-, micro-, and macro-scales, as well as being ultralight and robust. 

Associate Professor Lauren Black and collaborators are developing a novel tissue graft which could give new hope to pediatric heart patients.

Biomedical engineers have created materials with embedded, pre-designed functions. The process enables the creation of mechanical components with functionality, such as surgical pins that change color with strain.

Tufts engineers help develop a new technique that could enhance standard criteria for early cancer diagnosis.

Tufts engineers have developed new, non-destructive techniques to evaluate tissue healing following a heart attack.

Process could pave way for engineering innervated tissues such as skin, cornea.

Tufts engineers have developed threads that, when sutured into tissue, collect and wirelessly transmit diagnostic data.
