The laboratory conducts research on modeling, characterization and creation of biomaterials for biomedical and industrial applications. Likewise, advanced techniques are employed to accurately measure deformations and forces on soft and hard tissues. \u00a0Our team consists of researchers, and undergraduate and graduate students, as well as interns from diverse national and international universities.
