REPAIR: Regenerative Electronic Platform through Advanced Intelligent Regulation
Overview
With the goal to revolutionize wound care, the REPAIR project focuses on creating a smart device for accelerated wound healing. We hope to create a future where wounds are healed quickly and functionally, and real-time feedback of the wound bed state allows for highly effective treatment. The centerpiece of our project is a device engineered to detect wound biomarkers to track the state of the wound bed and release wound healing factors necessary for that stage of wound healing. By controlling the precise temporal and spatial delivery of these factors, we hope to accelerate wound healing and functional tissue regeneration more effectively than ever before.

Career Opportunities
Research Technician
The Veiseh Lab in the Rice University Bioengineering department has an opening for a research technician position. Our lab utilizes molecular engineering and cellular and molecular biology in combination with advanced nano, micro, and macro biomaterial fabrication techniques, to develop platforms of cell therapy devices tailored for in vivo biochemical sensing and delivery of biological therapeutics.
Postdoctoral Associate - Bioengineering
The Veiseh lab at the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow. The ideal candidate would be an expert in mammalian synthetic biology and/or biomaterials. The recruited postdoctoral fellow will lead an independent project focused on creating an engineered cell therapeutic device for wound healing. All candidates should have strong written and oral communication skills and will also be expected to aid in the supervision of junior lab members and the preparation of research proposals. We are seeking candidates who have demonstrated ability to lead and/or work collaboratively in teams comprised of individuals of diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives.
