We are currently seeking M.D., Ph.D., D.V.M., D.D.S., and D.M.D. graduates who are U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents for this two-year interdisciplinary training program.  Applications from underrepresented minority individuals are strongly encouraged. Click here to learn more.

The Postdoctoral Training Program in Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials Science offers interdisciplinary research training for postgraduate clinical and postdoctoral academic scientists.    

This program is structured both vertically -- from "bench to bed" -- and horizontally -- across disciplines. It provides a unique focus on the material-science aspects of tissue engineering.

The program draws upon biomaterials as one of the enabling technology foundations of tissue engineering, introduces the trainee to combinatorial research designs and computational tools in modeling and informatics, and encourages the detailed study of the interactions of cells with materials.

Postdoctoral Fellow Asa Vaughan with former US Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop at the 9th NJ Symposium on Biomaterials Science

Trainees will gain experience in:

• materials characterization and processing
• cell and molecular biology
• engineering of prototype implants
• testing in clinically relevant animal models.
