Biomedical Engineering

Engineering students and faculty delivered winning pitches at the 2017 $100k New Ventures Competition, hosted by Tufts Gordon Institute.

Assistant Professors Iryna Zenyuk, Xiaocheng Jiang, and Robert C. Viesca received CAREER Awards, the National Science Foundation's most prestigious award in support of junior faculty.

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.
