Research Interests
Research Interests
The goal of our laboratory is to design polymeric biomaterials for specific orthopaedic applications, including regeneration of tendon/ligament, muscle and bone. These synthetic and naturally-derived biomaterials are used to scale-up the production of cells for tissue regeneration, as well as deliver cells and biomolecules to promote healing of tissues that have degenerated due to chronic conditions.
Teaching Interests
Teaching Interests
Prof. Temenoff's teaching focuses on fundamental bioengineering courses that cover tissue engineering, biomaterials, and regenerative medicine at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Her instruction emphasizes the integration of cell biology and engineering principles to foster a comprehensive understanding of biological systems and therapeutic strategies. She actively engages students in interdisciplinary approaches and laboratory techniques relevant to biomedical engineering research and applications.
She is interested in active learning approaches to teaching concepts in biomaterials, cell manufacturing and tissue engineering.
