Meet the BioMaterials Design Group

The Biomaterials Design Group at Northeastern University works at the interface of bioanalytical chemistry, materials science, and design. We investigate fundamental mechanisms behind systems in biology and use our understanding to better inform and design new classes of materials that may interface with or enhance human performance. The Group also focuses on strategic tool building as a means to target specific biological questions during materials development.

Current research projects focus on developing adaptive photonic sensors inspired by cephalopods and designing bionic protein materials for implantable electronics. For more information about what we do, check out our SCIENCE section.
