At the Oyen Lab, we are at the forefront of innovative research, where bioengineering, materials science, and healthcare intersect.
Our work encompasses a wide spectrum of interests:
- Bioengineering Approaches to Pregnancy and Childbirth: We are dedicated to applying cutting-edge bioengineering techniques to the study of pregnancy and childbirth. Our goal is to enhance maternal and fetal health through innovative solutions.
- Mechanical Properties of Hydrogel Materials: Our research delves into the mechanical characteristics of hydrogel materials. Hydrogels have wide-ranging applications, from tissue engineering to drug delivery, and understanding their properties is central to our work.
- Biomimetic Materials: At the Oyen Lab, we are pioneers in creating biomimetic materials inspired by both hard and soft natural tissues. These materials are designed to mimic the remarkable properties found in biological systems.
- Identifying Mechanical Contributions to Pregnancy Complications: We recognize that many pregnancy complications have underlying mechanical factors. Our research aims to uncover and address these mechanical contributions to improve maternal and fetal health.
Join us on our journey to unlock new possibilities at the intersection of engineering, biology, and healthcare. Our work is driven by a profound commitment to making a positive impact on maternal and child health.
