Orthopedic joints haven't changed much in 50 years. We are developing models & fabrication methods that are more durable, stable, and wear-resistant. Image: Dartmouth College.
We are also working to improve sheet metal implants for trauma repair. Here, students learn to use the biaxial cruciform machine at the UNH Olson Center. Image: Liz Mamros.
Tissue engineering is a major research thrust, with research teams at UNH, Dartmouth, and Keene State College. Image: Ali Asghar.
We are also focused on the research needed to create biosensors that will transform health care. Image: Kathryn Lapierre.

SMART TEXTILES
Dartmouth College researchers have developed a novel method for making electronic textiles using a durable copper-based coating that can be integrated into fabrics. These textiles react to harmful gases in the air and transform them into less toxic substances that become embedded into the fabric. Read More

NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS CHART NEW CAREERS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
At UNH Manchester under the mentorship of Dr. Won Hyuk Suh, Darrell Caudill and Trixie Vazquez learned the language and culture of a research lab while investigating the use of bioprinted and crosslinked protein-based hydrogels to engineer human neural stem cells as part of the summer 2023 Undergraduate Research Training with NH BioMade.
