Biomaterials and Devices

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary and collaborative team at UC Davis. The position is funded by a new, multi-year grant from the NIH. The Leach laboratory focuses on the design of biomaterials to instruct cell behavior, generate implantable or injectable replacement tissues, and work collaboratively with clinical partners to address challenging problems for patients in need.

Engineers at the University of California, Davis, are working with clinicians to create a simple, inexpensive ventilator. They have developed a prototype and plan to make plans freely available online. Versions could be in clinical use in about six months.
