The Cellular Engineering laboratory, directed by Prof. Clark Hung, is undertaking studies to establish methods of repairing damaged articular cartilage in various joints of the human body.

The research focuses of the Bone Bioengineering Laboratory are truly multidisciplinary and intersect traditional boundaries between biomechanics, biomedical imaging, and cellular bioengineering. The major thrusts of the current research include (1) image based microstructural and finite element analyses of skeletons, (2) in vitro mechanobiology of osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts; and (3) 3D cell mechanics and mechanotransduction.
