Eric Brey, Ph.D.

Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering

UTSA

My laboratory is focused on the fields of tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and biomaterials. Specifically, we are investigating new biomaterial approaches for engineering vascularized tissues. We are also investigating novel imaging methods for analysis and monitoring of engineered tissues. Our research has received support from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration and industry collaborators. In addition to research, I have a significant interest in engineering education, specifically in the area of undergraduate research and its influence on education and career trajectories.
