Profile
The vision of the Biomedical Engineering Department at Tufts University is to promote integrative research, education, and entrepreneurship at the forefront of biomedical science and engineering. Tufts is home to the NIH P41 Tissue Engineering Resource Center. The research focus varies in disciplines from biomaterials processing to medical optics. The biomedical engineering department is passionate about progressive tissue engineering strategies and funds a laboratory subgroup focused on 3D bioprinting and rapid prototyping with biomaterials. This group has active and longstanding clinical collaborations exploring the potential of 3D printed biomaterial products in surgical reconstruction in vivo.

Teaching robots to sort out their issues
Robots can help do a lot of things - assemble cars, search for explosives, cook a meal or aid in surgery. But one thing they can't do is tell you how they're doing - yet.29 Mar 2018
Tooth-mounted wearable can track what you eat
Miniaturized sensors developed mounted directly on a tooth and communicating wirelessly with a mobile device, can transmit information on glucose, salt and alcohol intake.2017

Multi-material printed systems poised to shape consumer products
Product developers can print integrated electronics onto plastic, ceramic and metallic structures at extremely fine resolutions.19 Jun 2017
Teaching robots manners
Advances in artificial intelligence are making virtual and robotic assistants increasingly capable in performing complex tasks. For these "smart" machines to be considered safe and trustworthy collaborators with human partners, however, robots must be able to quickly assess a given situation and apply human social norms.6 Feb 2017

Stretchy optical fibers for implanting in the body
Researchers have developed a biocompatible and highly stretchable optical fiber made from hydrogel — an elastic, rubbery material composed mostly of water. The fiber, which is as bendable as a rope of licorice, may one day be implanted in the body to deliver therapeutic pulses of light or light up at the first sign of disease.20 Jul 2016
Smart sensors can be sutured into tissue
For the first time, researchers have integrated nano-scale sensors, electronics and microfluidics into threads - ranging from simple cotton to sophisticated synthetics - that can be sutured through multiple layers of tissue to gather diagnostic data wirelessly in real time.6 May 2016
