Our research interests lie at the interface of biomaterials design and fabrication, surface and tissue engineering and micro/nano technology. The Badv Lab works at the interface of engineering, medicine and biomedical sciences to address the many shortcomings associated with biomaterials and biointerfaces. The overall goal of our research program is to explore new combinations of synthetic and natural biomaterials, fabrication methods and modification techniques to design and develop the next generation of multifunctional biointerfaces that mimic the biological environment, prevent non-specific adhesion, promote desirable biointeractions and in effect guarantee the reliability and performance of the system.
