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.
Announcements
CONGRATULATIONS Brunno and Zach!
Congratulations to NH BioMade grad students Brunno Carvalho Rocha and Zach Hollins who received UNH Summer Teaching Assistant Fellowship (STAF) awards. STAF awards support research or study during the summer for teaching assistants (TA) who have performed exceptionally well as a TA and as a student.
CONGRATULATIONS LUCIANA!
Former NH BioMade Transfer Scholar Luciana Custer is now pursuing a doctorate in biomedical engineering at the University of Southern California. Luciana just received both a Tau Beta Pi and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship award and we are so proud!

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.
Boosting Biomanufacturing
The BIOSENS team had their kick-off meeting on April 4-5 in Portland, Maine! This new EPSCoR Track II project is entitled, "Advancing Manufacturing and Biotechnology through an On-Demand Sensor Platform: Investments in the Development of Engineering Principles and the Future Workforce".
Keene Undergraduates Shine
As members of NH BioMade's research team, Keene State College undergraduate student researchers are making significant contributions to the field of tissue engineering. Their contributions support the foundation of revolutionary advances in regenerative medicine, such as 3D printed organ transplants. (Photo credit: Will Wrobel, Keene State College)
ACS Presentation
Graduate Student Brunno Carvalho Rocha recently attended the American Chemical Society Spring 2022 meeting in San Diego, California. Brunno, together with his advisor Prof. Harish Vashisth, presented their NH BioMade reseach findings, "Evaluation of the self-assembly behavior of colloidal particles with charged lobes via molecular dynamics simulations".
