W. M. Keck Bio-Medical Materials Research Laboratory

Objectives: To establish a Bio-medical Materials Research Laboratory (BMRL) to focus on revolutionary approaches to design and manufacture of structures for skeletal disorders and implants.

Uniqueness & Innovation: Direct Laser processing and induction plasma spray processing facilities are being developed for fabrication of nanoscale powders to coatings to bulk structures of metallic and ceramic materials for biomedical applications. Innovation stems from design and fabrication of novel materials for a variety of applications with special emphasis on biomedical needs.

Principal Investigators: Amit Bandyopadhyay, Susmita Bose, Howard Hosick

Partners: WSU School of Biological Sciences Professor, Howard Hosick

Funding Agency: W. M. Keck Foundation
