Translational Research
The Rowan-Virtua School of Translational Biomedical Engineering & Sciences supports a wide variety of research projects that aim to apply innovative technologies to improve patient care. Rowan-Virtua TBES works to build cross-disciplinary teams that include Rowan researchers across our colleges and schools, our clinical partners, and external organizations. We provide advisory support to projects to help them navigate fundamental research problems, clinical translation and commercialization.
Ongoing research projects
Selected projects listed below partner Rowan University faculty with Virtua Health clinicians to accelerate the translation of their research from the laboratory to real-world implementation.
Next-gen robot to reduce long-bone fracture
Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Biomarker Discovery
Enhancing organ transplant outcomes with imaging and segmentation
Specialized mediators to modulate immunosuppression during sepsis
Nanofiber sutures for enhanced healing and tissue generation
Bioactive Metallo-Elastomer Cardiovascular Implants
Improving patient care
TBES supports a standing collaboration with the Rowan-Virtua Regional Integrated Special Needs Center (RISN) that enables Rowan undergraduate, graduate and medical students to design and implement adaptive technologies that improve the quality of life for RISN patients with special needs.
