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.

Two Engagements!

Congratulations to Derek and Bella, and to Mabel and Andrew, on getting engaged!

Breakthrough FDA Designation!

Rhythio Medical has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA for our injectable hydrogel electrode system - a soft, biointegrated interface designed to make cardiac rhythm management more humane and cost effective

Thankful to be in the ECH lab!

Our lab hosted a Thanksgiving potluck to celebrate good food and even better people!
