Research @ UT BME

The Cosgriff-Hernandez Laboratory

Modern biomaterial science has made extraordinary leaps in creating synthetic materials that mimic the complexity of native tissues to restore function, generate replacement tissues and organs, and advance the field of regenerative medicine.

THE PRIMARY RESEARCH FOCUS OF OUR LAB IS
THE DEVELOPMENT OF POLYMERIC BIOMATERIALS
FOR MEDICAL DEVICES AND
TISSUE ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

What We Do

Modern biomaterial science has made extraordinary leaps in creating synthetic materials that mimic the complexity of native tissues to restore function, generate replacement tissues and organs, and advance the field of regenerative medicine.
