About The University Of Georgia:
Since our founding in 1785, the University of Georgia has operated as Georgia’s oldest, most comprehensive, and most diversified institution of higher education. The proof is in our more than 235 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report.
The University’s main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton. UGA employs approximately 3,100 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University’s enrollment exceeds 41,000 students including over 31,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly formed School of Medicine.
About The College/Unit/Department:
The lab is in the new UGA Interdisciplinary STEM research building and is funded by competitive grants including several NIH R01s, DoD, and CDC. Our lab’s interdisciplinary research focuses on the interface of materials, chemistry, bioengineering, biology, and medicine. Current research focuses on biomaterials, polymer science, blood-surface interactions, antimicrobial surfaces, anti-fouling surface, and controlled delivery of therapeutic agents (e.g., nitric oxide).
Our lab is comprised of an interdisciplinary team including scientists, engineers, and clinicians who aim to study the biocompatibility of medical devices (e.g., insulin delivery systems, catheters, extracorporeal circulation, hemocompatibility, and antimicrobial surfaces). We conduct translational research in an environment that promotes teamwork and collaboration, fosters innovative discoveries, and expedites the translation of these findings to clinical technologies to improve quality of life.
