Wilbur A. Lam

Professor Lam’s research focuses on the development and characterization of biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. His work includes investigating cell-material interactions, scaffold design and fabrication, and the biomechanical properties of engineered tissues. This research aims to advance understanding of cellular responses in engineered environments and improve strategies for tissue repair and replacement.

Our interdisciplinary laboratory, comprising clinicians, engineers, and biologists, is dedicated to applying and developing micro/nanotechnologies to study, diagnose, and treat blood disorders, cancer, and childhood diseases. This unique "basement to bench to bedside" approach to biomedical research is enabled by our lab’s dual locations at the Emory University School of Medicine and the Georgia Institute of Technology and our affiliations with the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta hospitals.
