Engineering the Next Generation of Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine, Drug Delivery and Disease Modeling
The Gaharwar Lab is dedicated to advancing the field of biomaterials by integrating principles of bioengineering, materials science, molecular biology, and computational biology to develop innovative solutions for regenerative medicine, therapeutic delivery, and disease modeling. Our mission is to design and engineer next-generation biomaterials that enhance tissue regeneration, improve patient outcomes, and address critical challenges in healthcare. Through cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and translational applications, we aim to bridge the gap between fundamental science and clinical impact, creating biomaterials that interact seamlessly with biological systems. Our lab is committed to training the next generation of scientists and engineers, fostering an environment that encourages curiosity, innovation, and scientific excellence.
Engineering smart biomaterials that guide the body’s healing processes to restore tissue and promote regeneration.
Designing 3D models to understand the pathophysiology of cancer metastasis and developing nanoscale therapeutics to target it.
Developing custom 3D bioprinters and bioinks to fabricate complex, functional tissues to model human physiology.
Engineering nanocarriers to target organelles and developing controlled-release biomaterials to regenerate damaged tissues.
We combine fundamental science with engineering design to solve complex biomedical challenges. By integrating materials innovation, cell biology, and advanced manufacturing, we develop translational platforms that bridge the gap between the lab and the clinic. Our interdisciplinary approach accelerates the discovery of next-generation therapies for tissue repair, drug delivery, and disease modulation.
