Worthington Lab

The Worthington Lab is a collaborative training environment that uses engineering principles to predict and tune the composition, mechanics, and architecture of biomaterials for applications in soft tissue engineering while also enhancing the sustainability of light-based manufacturing. Our recent and ongoing work includes regenerative engineering of ocular and oral soft tissues, studying the role of mechanics in pulmonary and ocular disease, applying high-resolution 3D printing to various biomedical problems, and developing bio-sourced molecules for sustainable light-based manufacturing.
