Tissue Engineering Lab Provides BME Students with Invaluable Experience
Over the past two decades, tissue engineering has emerged as an exciting new area in biomedical engineering. For all BME undergraduate concentrations at UConn, there were corresponding lab components to provide hands-on experience to supplement the classroom instruction, except for tissue engineering. Syam Nukavarapu, associate professor of biomedical engineering -- who is also a joint faculty member of Materials Science & Engineering and UConn Health -- was recently tasked with developing a tissue engineering laboratory, which has started running this semester.
