Muir Lab at UDel CBE

Welcome to the Muir Lab! We are located at the University of Delaware Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. In the Muir Lab, we explore how cells and materials dynamically interact with biologically-relevant environments in space and time. We specialize in engineering hydrogel biomaterial platforms and bioprinting to design complex microenvironments that mimic biological systems. Combined with real-time imaging, material testing, modelling, and embracing a “maker culture”, we pursue innovative research at the intersection of biology, materials science, and engineering. Our work in engineering with cells and gels is inspired by grand challenges across biomedical and environmental applications, including tissue engineering, therapeutic delivery, biofabrication, and environmental microbiology. See our Research page to learn more about our group's work.
