Welcome Statement

Welcome to the forefront of biomedical innovation at the Electrospun Nanofiber Lab (ENFL) at the University of Central Oklahoma. This lab is working on the novel biomedical applications of electro spun nanofiber matrix. The lab has developed an electro spun nanofiber-based metal coating system, intervertebral disc implant, functional coating for orthopedic and orthodontic implants, and 3-dimensional (3D) grafts (cartilage, skin, large bone defect). This is a student and faculty centered interdisciplinary research laboratory. Here I have been actively engaging undergraduate and graduate students in research from all engineering areas, encouraging and providing opportunities to students to present research at regional and international conferences with co-authorship. Currently, 1 post graduate lab technician, 3 graduate students, and 17 undergraduate students from engineering, physics, biology, and statistics are actively participating in different projects initiated from the lab. The lab supported more than 200 undergraduate student research and 17 graduate thesis projects. The lab produced granted 10 patents, 38 peer reviewed journals, 8 book chapters, and more than 150 conference presentations/posters.
