 In
the
summer of 2006 five AME faculty members and their graduate students
moved into the Multidisciplinary Engineering Research Building, adjacent
to the Hessert Laboratory. The 25,000 square foot and $6.8M building
consolidates and expands multidisciplinary research facilities in biomedical
engineering across the College of Engineering. Initial occupants from
AME include Profs. Ovaert, Niebur, Roeder, Schmid and Wagner, along
with faculty from Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Current biomedical
research activities in AME include both experimental and computational
investigations of structure-function relationships in skeletal tissues
and cells, as well as the design, manufacturing and evaluation of new
synthetic biomaterials for orthopaedic devices. The Multidisciplinary
Engineering Research Building houses more than a dozen laboratories
designed specifically for biomedical research, including the:
• Biological Tissue Laboratory,
• Biomaterials Processing Laboratory,
• Biomedical Imaging Laboratory,
• Cell and Tissue Culture Laboratory,
• Histology and Specimen Preparation Laboratory,
• Manufacturing Laboratory,
• Micromechanics Laboratory,
• Mechanical Testing Laboratory,
• Tissue Engineering and Mechanics
Laboratory
• Tribology Laboratory.
