The Summer 2013 Edition of Explore Magazine features the BME Department and research from Dr. Schmidt’s lab.

The Schmidt Lab transition to Florida is complete – the final moving truck with lab equipment and supplies arrived on June 22.

Congratulations to Hieu for having his manuscript on e-field effects on Schwann cells accepted for publication with J. Neural Engineering.

Ryan worked on preserving microvasculature in decellularized lung tissue for implant applications. Congrats Ryan!

Sarah Mayes successfully defended her thesis work at UT on hyaluronic acid/alginate based films for anti-adhesion applications. Great job Dr. Mayes!

ChE graduate student Chase Cornelison successfully passes his Research Proposal/Prelim. Chase will soon be moving to UF to complete his PhD studies there. Congratulations Chase!

Our group is utilizing novel techniques to process natural based materials (e.g., hyaluronan) for therapeutic applications. In a parallel approach, we are investigating decellularized tissues for use as regeneration scaffolds.

Our lab is developing and studying advanced electronic materials specifically tailored and optimized for biomedical applications such as neural regeneration strategies and neural microelectrodes.

Dr. Schmidt has been named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society and the publisher of the journal Science. “AAAS fellows are elected by their peers, and fewer than 1 percent of the association’s members are elected each year. Fellows are selected for their […]
