Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Bioartificial heart/blood vessels/liver/kidney posters
You will learn the anatomy and physiology of the organ of your interest; compare the pros and cons of current designs; brainstorm your design and research plans.
Vaccines and FDA
You will learn more about vaccine mechanisms, how do pharmaceutical companies produce them and get FDA approval. You can create a podcast/poster or write a review paper.
Biomaterial designs
You can pick a topic of your interest (e.g. degradable sutures, dental implants, hip prostheses) and learn more about how the biochemical and mechanical properties are taken into account in material design.
