Translational Engineering Technology for Women’s Health Applications

Feb 3, 2026, 12:00 – 1:00 PM

Female reproductive and gynecologic health are historically understudied fields that would significantly benefit from engineering expertise due to the unique biomechanical environment in the female reproductive tract and the dynamic tissue changes orchestrated throughout the menstrual cycle by sex hormones. With the synergistic techniques of tissue engineering, biomaterials science, biomechanics, and reproductive biology, we engineer models of the female reproductive system and female lower urinary tract, including the endometrium, decidua, vagina, and bladder.
