University of Bridgeport, Biomedical Engineering

of research focused on the understanding of various physical properties associated with nanoscale materials either by themselves or in conjunction with polymers. Nevertheless, for nanotechnology advances to impact human life, designing these materials and hybrid materials with desired properties and integrating these properties in future technology development is needed. Thus, it is necessary to have complete control over their structure, properties, and arrangement through growth and modification processes. Keeping this as the central theme the research in the department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Bridgeport is directed toward the major areas of multifunctional polymer nanomaterials, biomedical nanomaterials, tissue engineering, biosensors and bioelectronics, organic/ inorganic interfaces and biologically inspired nanomaterials.
