Department Summary
The Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact is a billiondollar initiative designed to fasttrack scientific discoveries and the process of turning those discoveries into innovations that improve the quality of life for people in Oregon the nation and beyond. The Knight Campus will reshape the higher education landscape in Oregon by training the next generations of scientists forging tighter ties with industry and entrepreneurs and creating new educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students.
The Benoit lab works at the interface of medicine and engineering with an emphasis on precisely controlling biomaterial functionality and architecture to treat diseases control cell behavior or answer fundamental biological questions. In particular we are focusing on two avenues: synthetic hydrogels with tunable degradation and mechanical properties as a synthetic extracellular matrix analog for the culture and delivery of cells for regenerative medicine approaches and polymers formed using reversibleaddition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) a controlled living polymerization strategy designed with drug delivery applications in mind. Our overall hypothesis is that by using bottomup approaches we can design smart materials with distinct capabilities such as controlling cell behavior or overcoming delivery barriers.
