What We Do
Dr. Bumgardner’s lab is focused on developing chitosan-based materials for a wide range of biomedical implant and tissue engineering/regenerative medicine applications in the orthopedic and dental/craniofacial areas. The lab is focused on the design and development of chitosan-based materials for;
-
dental and orthopedic implant coatings,
-
composites for bone grafts,
-
injectable micro- and nanoparticles for graft and drug delivery,
-
wet-spinning and electrospinning of fibers/membranes for guided bone regeneration and tissue engineering.
