Bioengineering Research Areas
Research within the Department of Bioengineering transcends many disciplines and includes faculty and resources that span the entire University including the medical and veterinary schools, the School of Arts and Sciences, and colleagues in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Projects involve observing and manipulating living systems over many length scales, from the small (molecular) to the large (physiome), and are aimed at creating new knowledge and technology to better understand fundamental biological processes and improve clinical practice and patient care. Much of the research capitalizes on our unique ties with clinicians, enabling the translation from bench to bedside. Bioengineering research at Penn falls broadly into 16 main categories. The Bioengineering Graduate Group faculty members involved in each research area are listed with each description below.
Molecular Engineering
Molecular engineering involves manipulating genes, RNA, proteins, enzymes and small molecules to better understand their structure-function relationship, introduce new functionality, improve function and/or impair function. Applications include designing better therapies; manipulating the operation of molecular networks and consequently cellular behavior, generating molecular devices for use in synthetic biology, and developing new molecular imaging agents that can be used to report cell processes.

Cellular Engineering
Cellular engineering involves applying the principles and methods of the physical and biological sciences to study and manipulate cellular systems. Research directions within cellular engineering include cell mechanics, mechanotransduction, cell-cell interactions, cell-matrix interactions, and cell differentiation. Faculty are also working to engineer cells with enhanced metabolic function (e.g., liver), using cells as a vehicle for cell-based gene delivery, stimulating and/or differentiating cells to better recognize and fight disease, and many additional applications where cells are being harnessed to treat disease.

Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering refers to the engineering of synthetic and/or biological samples for use as tissue implants, to support tissue growth, or as platforms for therapeutic applications. Tissue engineering has resulted in both clinically used and experimental therapies for structural tissue repair (e.g., skin, bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and blood vessel) and replacement. Tissue engineering constructs have also been used to deliver drugs and/or provide a platform for cell-based therapies.

Bioengineered Therapeutics, Devices and Drug Delivery
The development of drug and gene delivery systems involves the synthesis of novel materials, the preparation of micro- and nanoplatforms, innovations in targeting, controllable drug release, and biodegradation and the mathematical modeling of these systems. Applications associated with drug and gene delivery systems include controlling stem-cell differentiation, treating disease, modulating organ function, and/or controlling the immune system. Optimization of drug delivery systems can involve mathematical modeling of nanoparticle targeting, modeling normal and diseased human tissue microenvironment, and studying drug uptake and processing.

Injury Biomechanics
Injury Biomechanics is the study of how cells and tissues respond when exposed to mechanical forces, with a focus on the complex relationships between early and long-term changes in structure and function. With this knowledge, new intervention strategies are being developed to improve cell and tissue recovery from injury. In addition, the investigators measure tissue mechanical properties and injury thresholds, and develop computational models to generalize the cell and tissue results to a macroscopic level and determine injury mechanisms. These studies parallel clinical investigations regarding the treatment and detection of traumatic injury. Applications of current work are in the areas of traumatic brain and spine injury in adults and children, and ventilator-induced lung injury.

Imaging Theory and Analysis
The development of computer-based imaging theory and analysis methods has given rise to applications in a wide variety of clinical research studies, including Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, cardiac diseases, brain cancer, and bone diseases. Methodologies that are being developed include image registration, segmentation, population-based statistical analysis, biophysical modeling of anatomical deformation, nano- and micro-structural tissue organization, high-dimensional pattern classification, mophometry, and diffusion tensor image processing. Other novel approaches include pulse sequence development to exploit quadrupolar spin-dynamics, polarization transfer, multiple quantum coherences, and indirect detection and spin locking for studying molecular dynamics in biological tissues in vivo to impart novel contrast in various tissue types.

Imaging Theory and Analysis
Molecular imaging sets forth to probe the molecular abnormalities of disease rather than image the end effects of these molecular alterations. Topics of research being pursued include the development of contrast agents, the preparation of biodegradable micro- and nanoplatforms, bioconjugate techniques, and the development of new targeting strategies. Cellular imaging involves the non-invasive tracking of cells populations in living subjects. These techniques are being developed and employed to monitor cell-based therapies, to monitor the cellular immune response following mechanical insults, infection, or disease, and to track the efficacy of various therapeutics.

Theoretical and Computational Bioengineering aims to employ concepts from applied mathematics, physics, and chemistry, infrastructure from computer science and broad-based principles from engineering to gain insight into complex biological systems. Projects involve the study of biological systems across the atomic, molecular, cellular, tissue and system scales. Hence the field of theoretical and computational bioengineering is inherently interdisciplinary and very diverse in its scope.
