Located in the heart of Houston, Texas, our faculty and students are collaborating with clinicians, clinical-scientists, and researchers across the Texas Medical Center (TMC) to drive innovations in health technologies.
We seek to design biomaterials-based platforms for various applications using new instructive materials, fabrication processes, and characterization tools, as well as modeling.
We seek to apply interdisciplinary engineering principles and basic science to understand, control and restore the function of living cells, tissues and organs.
We focus on advancing the next generation of imaging and sensing technologies to enhance health and human performance while prioritizing affordability and efficiency.
Funded by an NSF Engineering Research Center grant, PATHS-UP is working to develop revolutionary and cost-effective technologies and systems at the point-of-care.
The SWPDC is a virtual accelerator that supports pediatric device innovators throughout the pediatric device life cycle and is supported by a grant from the FDA.
