We have a number of projects in the lab that can also be called Bioengineering, devices and systems built by biomedical engineers and others in areas such as tissue engineering, light therapy and bioinstrumentation.

Digital Optical Chemistry (DOC) - In collaboration with Texas Instruments and Affymetrix, we have developed a system to manufacture custom, dense oligonucleotide arrays for re-sequencing and expression analysis.  These are being used to advance cancer and cardiac disease research.

Tissue Engineering of Muscle -Tissue engineering is based on the concept that tissue specific cells can be grown with biomaterials to form a tissue equivalent, which can then be used to repair or replace damaged tissues or organs.  Research in the field of tissue engineering is highly interdisciplinary, requiring expertise in medicine, engineering, and the life sciences.
