Orthopedic joints haven't changed much in 50 years. We are developing models & fabrication methods that are more durable, stable, and wear-resistant. Image: Dartmouth College.
We are also working to improve sheet metal implants for trauma repair. Here, students learn to use the biaxial cruciform machine at the UNH Olson Center. Image: Liz Mamros.
Tissue engineering is a major research thrust, with research teams at UNH, Dartmouth, and Keene State College. Image: Ali Asghar.
We are also focused on the research needed to create biosensors that will transform health care. Image: Kathryn Lapierre.

NH BioMade, a new five-year $20 million EPSCoR project funded by the National Science Foundation, will advance the rapidly growing New Hampshire biomaterials industry through knowledge generation, academic-industrial research partnerships, and workforce development. Addressing opportunities identified in the 2016 NH University Research and Industry Plan, this new grant will be used to develop innovative approaches for design and manufacturing of biomaterials, such as those used in implants and tissue engineering, which hold the potential to save lives and improve overall quality of life for patients.
SEED GRANT RFP ISSUED
We're looking for your research or education ideas related to NH BioMade! LOIs for EWD projects are accepted on a rolling basis until June 2023. Emerging area pilots LOIs due 01/04/23; full proposals due 01/18/23. Industry collaborations and core facilities applications are welcome too!
