Through surface modifications (e.g. low-fouling polymer brush grafts, RFGD fluoropolymer plasma deposition, etc.), we are pursuing fully biocompatible materials for a variety of applications including orthopedic devices, insulin delivery systems, and continuous dialysis machines.

In partnership with the Center for Dialysis Innovation (CDI), we are collaborating with Northwest Kidney Centers and several UW research labs to revolutionize dialysis treatment and care.

Using precision porous materials combined with conductive hydrogels, we are developing immunomodulatory neural implants.

Using our porous templated scaffolds, we seek to enhance the vascularization and integration of kidney organoids.
