Developing innovative materials to enhance wound healing

In the Monroe BioMaterials Lab at Texas A&M, we utilize fundamental advances in polymer chemistry to develop safer and more effective medical devices. Our research includes basic and applied work to fabricate and characterize biomaterial scaffolds with improved healing outcomes. Our solutions stop bleeding, prevent inflections, and drive the healing process in chronic and traumatic wounds.
