Bridging the gap between engineered and native tissues

Current Research Projects

We focus on materials discovery and biofabrication with a particular interest in advancing next generation microphysiological systems (MPS), assembloids and organoids for tissue engineering and disease modelling.  

Organoids

Joints

  • Inflammatory cartilage spheroid models for study of Osteoarthritis disease progression
  • Cartilage-Synovial Fluid model for screening of injectable therapies
  • Performance organoids for study of mechanical loading on cartilage health and disease
  • Hormonally tunable cartilage spheroids for study of joint regeneration

Hematological

  • Biofabricated Bone Marrow models for study of stem cell therapeutics for blood cancers

Neural

  • Neural tract Glioblastoma models for study of brain cancer invasion

 

Implantable biomaterials
  • Hydrogel spheroids for Integrative cartilage repair
  • Oxygen controlling hydrogels for enhanced stem cell survival
  • 3D-bioassembly of clinically relevant orthopaedic replacement grafts

 

Bioinks
  • Hydrogels for volumetric additive manufacturing
  • Machine learning processes for Enhancing shape fidelity of volumetric additive manufacturing

The Lindberg Lab 

Founded in 2022, the Lindberg lab is a bioengineering research group within the University of Oregon's Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. Based in the Department of Bioengineering in Eugene, Oregon, the Lindberg lab bridges the gap between engineered and native tissues.
