Dr. Mohsen Akbari has developed multifunctional hydrogel-based wound dressing for wound monitoring and drug delivery. This smart bandage technology intends to treat wounds such as pressure ulcers, which are a common complication following a spinal cord injury. Research at Dr. Akbari’s laboratory lies at the interface of cellular biology, biomaterials, and mechanical engineering. His lab uses 3D bioprinting, electrospinning, and microfluidics technology to develop advanced fibrous materials for applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery.
Dr. Mohsen Akbari’s biomedical and tissue engineering research has a focus on biomaterials engineering with potential applications in creating biomimetic tissues including the nerve conduits and skeletal muscle.His team also develops smart tissues, wound dressings for the management of pressure ulcers, diabetic wounds, and burn injuries.
