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.
New Hampshire Climate Assessment 2021
“Human driven climate change is happening now and we’re at a critical crossroads" states Dr. Cameron Wake. This report was supported in part by our Ecosystems and Society Track 1 award (2011-2018)
NH BIOMADE TRANSFER SCHOLARS
Our EWD transfer scholar program helps community college students complete a 4-yr baccalaureate degree that is aligned with the research objectives of NH BioMade. Transfer scholars Ellen Blackwell and Luciana Custer and their educational journeys that began at Great Bay Community College are highlighted here.
AWARD WINNER
Our NH BioMade postdoctoral diversity and innovations scholar and NSF/ASEE fellow Dr. Julianna Gesun was awarded third place in the ASEE/Autodesk Social Change Challenge. This national competition recognizes creative and innovative pedagogies that use CAD to inspire social change.
